About

In Feb 2026, I joined NVIDIA as Chief Marketing Officer, heading up marketing and comms. For the previous decade, I led global marketing for Google Cloud - Google’s $70B cloud business, including Google Cloud Platform ("GCP") and Google Workspace (Gmail, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar). I love that my roles at NVIDIA and Google can draw from my diverse experiences, including several years as an Operating Partner at Emergence Capital, a leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm focused on enterprise cloud companies. Earlier in my career, I built two successful online marketplaces, including co-founding QuickenLoans at Intuit and running marketing and business development at a venture-backed online car-buying site. I also served as Executive Director of the Harvard Business School California Research Center where I researched, wrote and taught over 100 case studies. I started my career as an investment banking analyst at Morgan Stanley. I'm honored that I was named by The San Francisco Business Journal as one of the “Most Influential Women in the Bay Area.”

Intuit

Co-founder, Quicken Loans / Director of Marketing

Aug 1996Aug 1999 · 3 yrs

  • I wrote the original business plan for QuickenLoans in 1996, one of the first online loan marketplaces. I researched the mortgage industry and worked with top engineers from the TurboTax team to develop a product that leveraged the Internet to help consumers shop and apply for mortgages. I established partnerships with lenders such as Chase and Citibank and teamed up with various finance and technology companies to build out the first several versions of the website. When it became clear that we would need a sophisticated call center to work with borrowers, I established a relationship with Rock Loans. Intuit bought Rock Loans, and then several years later, Intuit sold QuickenLoans back to Dan Gilbert, the original founder of Rock Loans.
