I have spent the past decade working with entrepreneurs and the fintech industry. Fintech enables greater numbers of people and businesses to create wealth, be savvier about managing their finances, and save time. The sweeping change that fintech is bringing to multiple industries is exciting for me and the entrepreneurs that I serve.

+ a real estate crowdfunding platform
+ an agrifinance crowdfunding platform
+ an Africa focused fintech venture capital firm
+ a socialized banking app
...and many more.

I was a guest speaker at institutions including: SBA, SCORE, U.S. Commercial Service, Fox School of Business, Global Enterprise Hub, and the Wharton School.

I worked on the ground on investments and businesses in 20+ countries and visited 20+ more. I speak Spanish, French, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi/Urdu, and English (my native language). I am a sharp negotiator and take pride in being both business savvy and street smart.
