My mission has always centered on driving tech and policy transformations that demand versatile leadership—the ability to seamlessly navigate the worlds of government, technology, and commercial viability.
My experience, immediately preceding my tenure as a VP at Mastercard, provides a clear operational framework for global executives and policymakers in Government. From 2014 to 2020 at the United Nations, I mastered the art of global policy execution, designing and implementing strategies for the digital economy and digital government. This period established my skill as an institutional translator, turning complex tech issues into actionable, multi-stakeholder programs across more than 50 countries.
