I enjoy learning new technologies, interacting with customers, collecting data and making decisions as a leader. I am enamored by what causes traction and how to measure it. I have a statistics and finance background and also have programming experience. I have worked in the fields of tech and finance. The past: I started young In my first foray into entrepreneurship, I co-founded a start-up called Token Energy. We sold real-time energy monitoring software for large scale residential buildings. I was only a teenager, but this was my first introduction to the world of leading, building, designing hacking and selling. Recently After Token Energy and graduating I went to work at Bank of America. For nearly two years, I worked hard and earned the top spot in my analyst class of 140. Instead of committing into the turmoil that was occurring in the financial sector during the years post-recession I turned to the start-up world where I could hone my leadership skills and create impactful products. Since then I have spent the past three years building TabSprint (a mobile payment app) reaching over a million users and striking partnerships with the largest brands in the beverage industry. The future I am looking for a team where I can make a big impact. A team who respects a PM with both sales and technical skills. Company culture and vision are two of the most important attributes I will look for in the company leadership. Interesting technology, hard problems and a work hard play hard attitude are all a major plus. Most of all, I want to be part of a strong team, who inspires and shares a vision that everyone can be passionate about. The cliff notes I enjoy learning new technologies, interacting with customers, collecting data and making decisions as a leader. I have nearly seven years experience in a PM related leadership role. I care most about making a big and positive impact with a team that I care about and am looking to be located in a major tech hub.
