About

I lead People, Talent, and Communications at DriveWealth, where we are building the global infrastructure to make investing accessible to everyone, everywhere. If you’re open to new opportunities, we’re hiring across nearly every part of the business—check out our careers page. 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.
