I am CEO & Co-Founder at Unbanked, a global fin-tech platform built on blockchain. Our platform connects traditional enterprise fin-tech banking systems with blockchain infrastructure giving real world utility to digital assets. Our products enable instant remittance and the transfer of value on blockchain rails in a compliant and regulated environment. I have worked in technology & digital media for over 10 years with a heavy focus on business development, sales, and strategy. My career started as the 1st employee in a media startup which grew into a $50mm a year business during my tenure. I had the opportunity to work in both early stage and mature organizations, be a part of acquisitions on the buy and sell side, and drive go-to-market strategy for various data and media products. As an advisor and investor in other ad tech companies, I always look to create value and continually broaden my knowledge of the ever changing landscape. My background enables me to bring unique insight and experience to the next set of challenges I face. Let’s connect if you think there is an opportunity for us to work together!

Chatmeter is the brand and reputation intelligence company re-imagining customer connections through AI-powered deep listening. We make it easy for multi-location brands to create real-time customer experiences that drive brand love, loyalty, and long lasting impact. I have a MBA from the University of San Diego, where I specialized in Business Analytics and Entrepreneurship. I use these skills to identify new opportunities, optimize sales processes, and create innovative SaaS solutions for our customers. I also have over 20 years of sales experience in various industries, including luxury retail, finance, non-profit, and restaurant services. I am passionate about delivering value, quality, and satisfaction to our customers, and I strive to empower and motivate my team to do the same.

I bring over eight years of dedicated experience in product management execution and leadership, across both the financial and event technology sectors. Financial Technology: During my tenure in the financial technology sector, I took on a pivotal role as the leader of a dynamic team entrusted with the creation of cutting-edge stock rebalancing software. This software seamlessly integrated with the FIX trading protocol, streamlining the way our clients managed their assets. Within the first few months of launch, our product garnered an impressive 37% increase in internal sales, a testament to its effectiveness and market relevance. Socio Venture and Cisco Acquisition: My journey continued when I started on an exciting chapter with a Series A startup, Socio, where I was the company's first product manager. In this role, I spearheaded the development of a comprehensive platform and oversaw the growth of the entire product department. My responsibilities extended to hiring top-tier talent and implementing streamlined processes that optimized our product development lifecycle, while still executing on new products. In 2021 Socio was acquired by industry giant Cisco. Throughout this transitional phase, I continue to hold a leadership position, facilitating a smooth integration process and ensuring the alignment of our product strategies with Cisco's overarching vision. This period not only broadened my horizons but also solidified my expertise in managing products within a larger corporate ecosystem.
