I work on customer insights & analytics at Nextdoor and have prior professional experience in strategy, financial planning & analysis, corporate development, investment banking, and portfolio management.Despite growing up dreaming of becoming an engineer, and having majored in electrical and computer engineering at Cornell, I began my career as an investment banking analyst at Citigroup before moving on to an investing role at Bridgewater Associates, a macro hedge fund.In my next role, I had the privilege of joining the corporate finance & strategy team at Square, a financial technology company, as it was preparing to go public. My initial responsibilities were focused on bolstering Square’s planning and reporting processes and systems for life as a public company. In my last year at Square, I transitioned to the corporate development team to help evaluate and execute larger acquisitions. At Nextdoor, I founded and am leading a team that focuses on generating audience, platform, and campaign performance insights for our advertisers.
