I'm a product management leader with over 14 years of experience spanning multiple industries including Fintech, Education, Consumer Technology and Investment Banking . In addition to my vast leadership experience, I've earned a digital payments patent along with being an award-winning product coach by being selected as the "Top 25 Product People of the Year” in 2018 & 2019 at Product School.
As the Chief Product Officer at SoloFunds (Tech Stars '18), I led the vision and strategy of building a community marketplace that enables financial autonomy for all members through equitable and affordable approaches to consumer lending. As Director of Product at MasterCard, I led product teams with a mission to deliver the best in class platform services and consumer checkout experiences for the Click to Pay e-commerce product via robust system design through microservices architecture, quantitative product analytics, qualitative consumer insights, and scalable A/B experimentation.
Prior to MasterCard, I was the first Product Manager hire at Imagine Easy Solutions (acquired by Chegg), an education technology company that has grown into the largest online bibliography site on the web with over 80 million active users through its flagship product EasyBib. During my tenure at Imagine Easy Solutions, I led the growth of the freemium and subscription business verticals while delivering well-packaged API services to enable a seamless integration with Google Docs to bolster the value proposition for all students.
Before joining Imagine Easy Solutions, I started my career at J.P. Morgan in various software engineering roles in the Asset Management and Investment Banking space focused on the development of global messaging products to communicate securitized trade executions, confirmations, and counterparty settlements for the firm.
I'm also a proud alumnus of Norfolk State University, where I majored in Computer Science while conducting auxiliary research in Iris Recognition, Cryptography, and Cloud Computing.
