Meet the Team
Founder and Head of various roles in FinTech, Wealth, and Financial Services. I began my career on Wall Street, advancing to senior leadership in global finance. Then, I pursued my passion for fintech, co-founding two successful ventures and experiencing many failures along the way. My experience combines corporate and entrepreneurial worlds, where I've built products, led large teams (100+), and focused on company culture. I hold an MBA from NYU and other qualifications (AICD, Finra).
On a personal note, as a single mom raising four kids, I've faced significant challenges, and understand that 99% of us have our own stories of hardship that stand in our way of financial empowerment persist. I'm fully committed to being part of the solution for you.
