Experienced fintech founder and product leader with a deep focus on enterprise payments and blockchain for good. I bring a track record of turning bold ideas into impactful products—particularly in high-stakes environments like humanitarian aid, cross-border payments, and emerging markets. As a successful entrepreneur (exited) now back in direct product work, my expertise sits at the intersection of product strategy, technical fluency, operational execution, data-driven decision making, and human-centered design. The through line of my work for over a decade has been using technology in novel ways to impact people in a time of need. As a Data Architect working in healthcare software development, I was granted a patent for the system I built to transform financial claims into clinical decision-making tools for doctors. As an fintech entrepreneur in Africa, I empowered and enabled people consistently underestimated and excluded from the global financial system. As a product leader today, I help organizations of all sizes access scalable, inclusive payments tools to extend the reach of each dollar and minute. In every role, I translate between business and technical groups, the real world and code, pain points and solutions, to solve problems and turn visions into reality. I speak on topics like: humanitarian tech, female founder journeys, blockchain in the real world, pitching to investors, refugee issues, product development, career pivots, entrepreneurship, cross-border payments. More about me: MBA. Entrepreneur. Public speaker. Healthcare and fintech enthusiast. Ex-developer. Harpist. Advocate. Reader. Traveler.
