At Plaid, I led product for Transfer, a money movement service via ACH rails. I grew the product from 0 to 1, scaling up to 10s of millions in payment volume for several dozen fintech customers. We modernized ACH, leveraging Plaid's suite of products - Auth, Balance, and Identity - into a singular API to make it easy for our customers to get up and running with ACH in a few business days. I departed Plaid after a year to co-found a new startup - more on this soon!

At Airbnb I was hired as the first PM specializing in payments. I scaled our payments processing capabilities from hundreds of millions of dollars to hundreds of billions; I also helped scale the organization from 10 to 250 over a six and a half year run. We expanded our local payment processing capability to over 190 countries, and I focused on local processing in some of the most challenging regimes in the world: Brazil, India, and China. We set up local entities in each, ensuring compliance with local payment and tax regulations.My team and I went vertical in the payments stack - we built the front-end consumer experience and optimized it across geographies and platforms. We also built our internal platform to support multiple internal businesses, ensured that we did not create or destroy payments data, and fed data into downstream financial systems to ensure that we could close our books while minimizing risk of restatement.In my role at Airbnb, I ascended to executive levels and built a product management team of over 20 PMs focusing on payments. I'm proud of the fact that over 50% of the team were women, that we had diverse representation across the team, and that we built a culture of training new PMs brought in from other functions. I take management and development very seriously, and actively helped to shape Airbnb's PM recruiting, development, and calibration processes.

At PayPal, I led our Digital Goods merchant segment, building products and services for companies such as Facebook, Skype, Zynga, Wargaming, and hundreds of other merchants. Digital merchants are a unique group as they tend to have global reach, technology savvy consumers, and many distribution platforms to serve. Our goal was to make monetization easy for these merchants.I also ran our carrier billing business, which PayPal entered with the acquisition of Zong in 2011.

I was lead product manager for Bleacher Report, the largest user-generated sports content site on the web. I created a product development process based on rapid design, implementation, testing, and iteration. We evaluated features qualitatively, and managed priorities based on effectiveness toward agreed goals. Prior to that we had little process, building what seemed important at the time.In addition, I managed a product team, with 2 designers as direct reports, and contributed to the site's visual and user experience direction.

Led product development for Cake Financial, an early stage startup. Managed cross-functional team of designers, engineers, marketing, and QA to plan, and build product feature releases.As the lead product manager I was tasked with turning the product around and relaunching it in Beta, which we accomplished in 6 months. I oversaw 11 major feature releases, including a complete community communication platform (Cake Talk), a security rating system (Cake Take), and a comprehensive portfolio analysis and reporting tool (the Investor Quick Check). As the lead product manager, I was also in charge of the overall product roadmap, organizing and prioritizing features, web analytics and testing, SEO and SMO initiatives, writing marketing copy, and posting regularly to the company blog.
