I run Warrant (Techstars 2024) to help marketing, legal, and compliance teams launch marketing campaigns faster, with confidence, using AI. I also wrote "The AI Native Marketer," the first playbook of how marketers are using AI right now. Before this, I led financial product marketing at Brex and Mercury, spearheading post-SVB response efforts, launching products like the Mercury IO card, and driving compliant, multi-channel marketing for banking and cards in collaboration with partner banks. I also built core credit card experiences at Capital One, used by millions of customers in the US. If you're exploring the future of AI-powered marketing compliance, I'd love to connect.
