Previously, I was employee #10 at OnePay, the Walmart and Ribbit Capital fintech venture, where I helped scale the business to a $2.5B valuation. My prior roles include Managing Director or Guggenheim Capital ($340B AUM) and leadership roles at Square (now Block), supporting IPO readiness and the incubation of Cash App and Square Capital. I have also served as a strategic advisor to dozens of private equity and venture-backed firms, focused on optimizing talent, culture, and performance through periods of rapid transformation. I have guest lectured at Stanford, HEC Paris, and Northwestern, and my work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch. I am also a dedicated mentor to high school students and emerging leaders building the next generation of enduring products.
