I focus on empowering teams to reach their highest potential while guiding organizations through pivotal transitions, and then delivering sustainable success.
As Prove's Chief Business Officer, I lead new business and operational strategy to ensure we remain at the forefront of online identity verification and authentication. I am also an advisor to venture-backed entrepreneurs, where go-to-market strategy is essential for achievement of their next major milestones.
Before joining Prove, I was the VP of global payment partnerships at Meta, including for the Libra/Diem-based ecosystem that Facebook founded. I have spent my career at companies such as Google, LinkedIn, OpenTable, and Meta, and product-driven founders appreciate my minimally-viable approach to shipping roadmaps and scaling commercial impact globally.
