With over 18 years of experience in mobile first banking and digital financial services, I am a seasoned executive and a pioneer in the field of cross border mobile payments, remittances and Bitcoin. I currently lead the business operations, distribution and strategy of Maya Labs, an early-stage technology company that integrates existing and emerging services and networks to empower low-income communities with better access to financial services.My passion is to leverage technology for economic empowerment and financial inclusion, especially for disenfranchised populations. I have successfully built and led high-performing teams, developed partnerships and markets, and launched products and offerings across digital finance and mobile technology in the US, Haiti, Mexico, and the Philippines. I have also advised traditional financial services players on digital transformation and social impact. As a co-founder and former VP of Business Development at Abra, I spearheaded the launch of the first-generation service for peer-to-peer remittances with a non-custodial wallet via Bitcoin and blockchain. I have also worked with fortune 500 corporations, governments, startups, and NGOs to design ventures and solutions across the mobile telco, banking, and Bitcoin domains.
