Founder & CEO | Tech Innovator
With a robust educational background in Economics from Claremont McKenna College and Engineering from Harvey Mudd College, I have carved a dynamic career path in the tech and finance sectors. As the Founder and CEO of Digital Craft Consulting since April 2023, I lead a web development and IT consulting firm focused on empowering mature small businesses through technology. My previous tenure at Capital One from 2012 to 2023 saw me rise from Marketing Manager to Director of Product Management. I spearheaded initiatives that enhanced digital servicing experiences and developed innovative payment solutions for small business banking. My leadership was pivotal in building a machine learning platform and optimizing online account opening processes. My career is marked by a commitment to leveraging technology to solve complex business challenges and enhance customer experiences.
