About Anthony

As an MBA candidate at the McCombs School of Business, I leverage a unique blend of leadership, analytics, and operational expertise developed during six years as a U.S. Navy Supply Officer and refined in the tech industry. In the Navy, I managed multi-million-dollar budgets and led cross-functional teams to achieve mission-critical results under pressure. At Zebra Technologies, I applied business analytics to supplier evaluations and procurement strategy, strengthening my ability to merge data-driven insights with strategic execution in a fast-paced technology environment.I thrive at the intersection of disciplined leadership and intricate problem-solving. With a strong foundation in logistics, supply chain, and procurement, combined with advanced training in finance, marketing, and strategy at McCombs, I am passionate about driving efficiency, innovation, and growth. I aim to partner with organizations that value integrity, resilience, and results-oriented leadership to deliver impactful solutions in complex, evolving markets.

   OpenClique is a community-driven social platform reimagining how people form real-world connections.From the beginning, our mission has been to help people build meaningful relationships through intentional, shared experiences—not endless scrolling. We designed OpenClique to turn social intent into action by organizing connection around curated “moments,” guided quests, and community-led experiences that make it easier to meet people organically and authentically.We built a platform that prioritizes belonging, trust, and real human connection—empowering individuals to move from isolation to community, and from online interactions to real-life relationships.Since launching, OpenClique has: • Developed a differentiated “Community-as-a-Service” model centered on moments, quests, and facilitated social experiences • Built and tested live community pilots with young professionals, students, and local leaders • Partnered with universities, accelerators, and student organizations to mentor founders and provide real-world product, marketing, and operations experience • Grown an engaged early user base and network of community hosts validating strong demand for offline-first social connectionThrough intentional design, behavioral insights, and a strong emphasis on trust and shared experience, OpenClique is becoming more than a social app—it’s a platform for building genuine relationships, fostering belonging, and helping people feel less alone in an increasingly disconnected world.
