I’m looking for my next big opportunity at the intersection of next-gen software products and the rockstar teams that bring them to life. Most recently, I was a Director of Product Management at Caesars Entertainment. I was a co-founding member of the team that took on one of the most ambitious digital transformations in the gaming and hospitality industry to-date. All built on Salesforce. Before that, I was the product manager for several guest and employee-facing apps. I started my adventures in Las Vegas as an interactive digital marketing manager for Caesars Rewards, the industry’s most prestigious loyalty program. In a past life, I was a fintech management consultant. I advised banks, retailers, and telcos on their mobile payments and digital wallet strategies and implementations. I’m teaching myself to code. Follow my progress on freecodecamp.org. I’ve spoken at Salesforce Dreamforce and have been quoted in American Banker. I’m an alumni of The University of Maryland. Go Terps.

• Fractal empowers DAOs to change the world by making them easier to structure, govern, and scale. DAOs need to be structured flexibly, act with agility, and decentralize at their own speed. They need a tool to split themselves into subDAOs, add governance incrementally, and bundle regular transactions as templates. Our no-code DAO platform is built on (Gnosis) Safe to ensure this journey is managed securely and that users can import their treasuries effortlessly. We believe decentralized autonomous organizations are the next stage of evolution for communities, businesses, and social movements on the internet to form around assets.
