As someone who doesn't wear hats, I've worn a lot of the metaphorical kind. I am an international banking and payment professional, specializing in developing creative solutions to assist banks, fintech, and corporates improve how they do business at home and abroad. These days, I spend my time thinking, writing, and presenting on big picture topics related to finance. When possible, I seek to pull in a wide swath of resources, bringing consilience rather than silos. And most importantly, I'm envisioning what the future of financial services will look like as we move beyond terrestrial commerce and need to develop the discipline of trade in space. My motivation comes from a passion for continually improving the way that the industry functions and a genuine interest in the work I do. I bring a unique mix of cross-functional sales, relationship management, product management, and project management experience, which allows me to develop solutions from a place of understanding. I know when to reinvent the wheel and when to refine the wheel, metaphorically speaking. I constantly strive to deepen my own understanding of how banks and companies move money, manage risk, and leverage new or existing technologies to do so. My goal is to leverage this depth of understanding for the industry to distill complex ideas into simple, easy to apply practices that drive real results. To avoid falling into the trap of overvaluing my own experience, I seek to maintain a radical curiosity and a hunger for new ideas from a wide range of disciplines. As they say, most innovation isn't net new, but a new application of a solved problem. Above all, I bring an infectious energy and positive attitude to the workplace and love to be part of a fun, collaborative, and innovative environment full of people that genuinely love what they do.
