I previously worked in venture capital as a Venture Partner with Jackson Square Ventures.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in fintech and entrepreneurship for two decades – as a founder and at Fortune 500 companies.

As a founder, I’ve built a startup acquired by a Fortune 500 company (John Hancock), built a startup with the parent company (Twine), and founded a microfinance organization (Jozoor Microfinance).

With Fortune 500 companies, I’ve developed strategy (McKinsey), led strategic partnerships and new ventures (John Hancock), and in engineering and business development (Microsoft).

I studied at Stanford (symbolic systems and MBA) and Harvard (masters in international economic development).
