I am deeply focused on leveraging technology to build secure and inclusive financial infrastructure. With 15+ years experience in product development and innovation, I have a unique set of skills. A strategist at heart, my super powers are vision setting, deep empathy and creating product culture. I combine my hands-on multidisciplinary experience with a transparent leadership style that emphasizes trust, team work and yielding results that fuel growth.My early childhood was spent in Papua New Guinea, a remote region off the coast of Australia. Here, I was surrounded by micro-merchants and a wonderfully local, entrepreneurial spirit. While I was too young to understand everything, sitting at the dining table and listening to my father, I learned about the need for making money fair and accessible in order to protect the most vulnerable. Some of the work I've done to further my mission:🚀 Head of Product and early employee of a Banking as a Service start up; deployed $M in working capital to small businesses across US, Canada and Australia. Steered company and customers through COVID turbulence⚙️ Enabled merchants to receive digital payments securely & with ease online and in-store. Piloted a mobile payments solution globally to rave reviews: 2K+ merchants signing up across 5 countries❤️ Developed digital banking products to promote inclusion and equitable financial services to underbanked communities in America 🔥 Being bold, stepping out of my comfort zone: learned the highs (and lows) of building ventures from the ground up. Took my learnings and craft to transform the digital culture of a Top 3 Hollywood Talent Agency (United Talent Agency) Finally, I excel at coaching and inspiring a culture of collaboration to build teams that work autonomously and energetically to solve problems.
