The stories of people, businesses, and economies are all interwoven by payments and financial systems - a world I have been obsessed with for 12+ years.
I work on global strategy and operations for Visa Direct, helping shape money movement at scale. My experience spans the fintech ecosystem—across banks (BofA), cryptocurrency and digital assets (Gemini, Rapyd), open banking (Lidya), and cross-border payments (Rapyd). I’ve also advised and built products for central banks, NGOs, and tech companies on using payments to drive financial inclusion and customer acquisition during my time at Glenbrook Partners.
At my core, I am an entrepreneur. My experience as a consultant, economist, product manager, and operator has sharpened my ability to turn ambiguity into structure to drive meaningful outcomes. I have intentionally shaped my career to embrace challenges that push me to grow, enabling me to contribute meaningfully to leadership teams that drive impact.
