I have close to twenty years of work experience, including ten years in the payments space as a consultant, operator and marketer. My focus areas are on emerging technology, including wallets, blockchain/crypto, and digital commerce.Before joining Western Union and founding my own company, I was a VP at Ripple, where I led the go-to-market strategy, pricing, co-branding and partner marketing efforts. Before Ripple, I was advising financial institutions and payment technology providers at McKinsey & Company and the Boston Consulting Group. During my time as a consultant, I led payments initiatives in the fields of digital commerce, blockchain and real-time payments across three continents. Prior to consulting and receiving my MBA, I started my career as an investment banker with UBS in New York, focusing on mergers and acquisitions and capital raising.I love cooking, swimming, and using my hands to build pretty much anything while I am not at work.
