Chief Technology Officer

Prodigy Finance is a platform that enables financing for international postgraduate students who attend a participating business school or postgraduate institution, whilst delivering financial and social returns to alumni, institutional and private investors.

I launched Floatpays in 2020, as a social impact-driven business on a mission to help move employees out of bad debt cycles and into a savings culture. We educate employees on financial matters, support them with financial planning, and remove the need for any employee to reach out to payday lenders/high-interest credit solutions when mid-pay cycle liquidity becomes a problem. We believe in the principle of giving employees access to their earned income when they most need it. We are not a loan or credit-based product. My previous experience includes over 20 years working as an entrepreneur and business leader in the startup and growth phases of businesses in the fintech and eCommerce business verticals. My work passion is to build products that disrupt existing markets and make a positive impact on how we live our lives now and in the future. I have worked globally to deliver business growth and market success with a few exits for businesses I have been fortunate enough to work with and help grow.
