Bio

I run Product at Cross River, across Banking, Cards, Payments, Lending, and Crypto. We are motivated by empowering our partners to deliver responsible financial solutions to their users. I also built the Crypto Team, to close the gap between the 2.5 billion people who access retail banking services digitally and the 250M crypto users. Previously, I led product at Oasis Labs: I created the first scalable and privacy-preserving smart contract platform. The Network is now live in mainnet and it's fully decentralized. I joined as the first non-software engineer employee and helped the team move from a research project at UC Berkeley to a 35-person venture-backed startup, raising $45M from a16z, Accel, Foundation, etc. Additionally, I built/launched/managed products at Google, PayPal, AmEx, and P&G. I am constantly analyzing present and future trends to develop intuitions, which I then validate with data. Through my career, I have developed expertise in product, go-to-market, data, and engineering, both at large companies and startups, one of which I founded. As an angel investor and advisor, I look for ambitious teams that work to exploit the depth of their breakthrough insight. DeliveRex (acquired by JustEat) and Keyless (raised $3M in seed) are a few examples. Some more recent investments include CloudWall, Weltio, Vital, Momento. I am excited about companies building infrastructure layers to support complex and enormous markets, especially in FinTech.
