As the Senior Vice President of Sales at CIRM, I provide customized solutions for managing interest rate risk and optimizing rates hedging strategies for corporate borrowers. I have over 14 years of experience in the finance and technology industries, working with various types of derivatives, securities, and software products.I am passionate about delivering value and building long-term relationships with my clients, as well as mentoring and empowering my team members. I enjoy finding innovative ways to solve complex problems and leverage data and technology to improve efficiency and performance. I am also an entrepreneur at heart, having completed my M.Sc. in Entrepreneurship from DePaul University, where I learned how to create and grow sustainable businesses.My drive and resilience stem from my background as an Olympic athlete, endurance athlete and an Ironman 70.3 finisher. I competed in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, as an alpine skier. I overcame serious injuries that required multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation, and returned to skiing within a year. I retired from ski racing in 2009 and focused on my education and career, while maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. I believe that sports have taught me valuable lessons in discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, which I apply to my professional and personal endeavors.
