I have led PayPal’s efforts in delivering products in the Fraud, Identity and Payments space at scale. These products and capabilities provide merchants and consumers the means to thrive in today’s increasingly digital economy. During my sixteen-year career at PayPal, I have been a foundational leader that has with my teams, helped PayPal lead the digital payment revolution and become synonymous with trust and security to consumers and merchants in more than 200 markets around the world.

I take pride in being a results-driven leader with strong product, engineering, and operational proficiency and have successfully operated as a GM for multiple revenue generating business units. I specialize in incubating and building teams and products from 0-1 as well as growing solutions at scale. My teams have a reputation for delivering strong financial results which have had a direct impact on company EPS.

In my quest for pushing the boundaries of innovation in the fraud and risk management space, I have led and integrated several acquisitions to help accelerate my vision for bringing increased value to both consumers and merchants at scale while also spinning these up into business units that open up new lines of revenue for PayPal.

I am passionate about building and leading high performing global teams and cutting-edge platform capabilities. My team of data scientists, product managers and engineers build innovative experiences and solutions that utilize the strengths of PayPal’s two-sided global network. These solutions and experiences span across consumer, seller, and credit challenges. I thrive on solving complex business problems and enabling world class customer experiences. I believe strongly in leadership and influence that extends beyond organizational boundaries, always invest in learning, and am deeply motivated by making a strong impact through technology and customer empathy.
