Work/Tech.
My work brings together technology, strategy, and organizational leadership. I’m interested in where technology can advance social impact, and in building the products, teams, and structures to make that potential real.
My first job out of undergrad was at a small startup acquired by Barclaycard. I then did a stint at a newspaper (the New York Daily News) before finding my footing in fintech. I helped build Venmo’s early risk and disputes capabilities, then worked in product governance at PayPal and merchant risk at Amazon. Tech is a trade, and I learned it working in the industry.
Today, I bring that experience to Simba Technologies, the company I founded in 2022 to help impact organizations hear from hard-to-reach communities and turn those insights into action.
