Biography
Josh is an Executive-in-Residence at Mainsail Partners, advising the portfolio on product development and data strategy. He also develops internal AI-enabled tooling focused on helping the investment teams operate more efficiently and make more informed decisions.
Prior to joining Mainsail, Josh spent more than 8 years at Datasite and SourceScrub, where he held leadership roles spanning Product, Customer Success, and Strategy. He joined SourceScrub during its early stages and helped scale the company into a leading deal-sourcing and private company intelligence platform used by private equity, investment banking, and corporate development teams. Following Datasite’s acquisition of SourceScrub, Josh served as VP of Product, helping lead product strategy and workflow integration efforts across the combined platform.
Josh’s experience has largely centered around building products and systems that transform fragmented, messy information into structured workflows and actionable insights. He is particularly focused on the intersection of AI, data quality, and vertical software workflows, and believes that durable software businesses are built through a combination of strong customer understanding, thoughtful product design, and operational discipline.

Josh also enjoys playing music and jamming with friends, particularly classic rock from artists like Eagles, Jackson Browne, and Steely Dan. He was a classically trained pianist from ages 4–18 and later taught himself guitar.
