About

Fintech and analytics executive with 13+ years of experience leading data and reporting functions and building financial data infrastructure and systems of record for global, high-growth companies. At Rippling, I lead a 10+ person team spanning finance analytics, regulatory reporting, treasury analytics, payments monitoring, and financial data infrastructure. We own the data, controls, and reporting that support revenue accuracy, close, compliance, liquidity, and payment operations globally. Previously at PwC, I advised high-growth technology companies on pre-IPO readiness and built analytics and financial reporting capabilities to support successful public offerings. I also scaled the platform analytics practice from under $1M to $12M+ in revenue, led teams of 20+ FTEs, and managed a $20M+ portfolio of financial data transformation work. A few lessons I carry with me: - Great teams drive everything. Invest in people, understand how they work, and help them do their best work. - When you understand the process behind the data, the data becomes far more powerful.
