20+ Years of Experience
I help unlock the power of human-centered design.
I articulate the art of the possible and deliver differentiated experiences at scale. This generates opportunities beyond the status quo—uncovering latent needs and creating products that unlock competitive advantage for the business and improve customers' lives.
I believe that effective leadership involves managing our energy and that of others. To unleash this energy, being able to be creative is key. When we nurture and tap into our creative energy, it becomes a powerful force for change, enabling us to break free from past constraints and discover new possibilities.
Product Visionary
Creative Catalyst
Creativity thrives in an environment of trust and openness. I foster a culture where teams feel safe taking risks, encouraging them to embrace diverse perspectives and explore new ideas to tackle complex customer challenges with innovative solutions.
Quality Driven
Exceptional design lives in the details. With a background in visual and UI design, I ensure experiences align with brand standards and design principles while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality, from surface details to overarching strategy.
Systems Thinker
Great design considers the big picture. Leveraging my expertise in information technology, I navigate complexity to build scalable systems and seamless end-to-end experiences that support customers across their journeys.
AWARD-WINNING RESULTS
I’ve had the pleasure of leading teams that have created significant impact—including removing overdraft fees and empowering parents and kids to be money-wise. Oh, and we've received some recognition along the way.
Bank overdraft fees snatch billions from struggling families & even during this pandemic, big banks raked in billions from this abusive practice. This is a good move by @CapitalOne. Big banks like @JPMorgan should do the same.
A PROVEN TRACK RECORD
I am trusted by some of the best in the industry.
