With 15+ years of experience in consulting and financial services, I’ve led transformative initiatives across financial operations, intelligent automation, and risk and compliance. As a Client Account Leader and Managing Director at Accenture, I help organizations drive operational excellence and adopt forward-looking strategies that enable efficiency, innovation, and measurable impact. I recently earned my PhD in Organizational Development and Change from Fielding Graduate University. My research explored the financial inclusion paradox, focusing on unbanked populations and the systemic factors that limit access to financial services in underserved communities. This work reflects my deep commitment to building more equitable financial ecosystems. I proudly serve as National Board Chair and National Capital Region Chair for Per Scholas, where we work to increase representation in tech by opening doors for talented individuals from often-overlooked communities. Whether guiding strategic transformation or advocating for inclusive opportunity, I lead with purpose and a passion for driving meaningful change.
