About

I help finance and procurement leaders reduce vendor fraud, streamline onboarding, and improve compliance across their payment processes. My focus is on solving high-stakes challenges for organizations with layered finance operations and high standards for control, transparency, and trust. Over the last few years, I’ve worked across B2B payments, AI, and enterprise technology — building pipeline from scratch, running complex sales cycles, and collaborating closely with product and customer success to deliver results. Every role has taught me something new about how to solve real business problems through trust, structure, and sharp execution. I believe great selling starts with active listening — and that the best results come from building real partnerships. Outside of work, you’ll find me dialing in my golf swing, trying something ambitious in the kitchen, or digging into a new book.

  • I lead new business sales conversations with finance and procurement leaders, helping them move away from manual vendor onboarding toward a more secure, reliable, and scalable solution.
