IDEAS SoCal Data Science Conference 2017

I have spent the past 14 years in leadership positions at fin-tech companies, always with data and analytics at the core of my job and my companies' success. Few industries stand to gain as much from the benefits of big data as fin tech, and few industries have a greater need for world-class talent in this area.

In my experience at Green Dot, we helped build the world's largest issuer of prepaid debit cards, using data to battle international fraud rings and develop winning pricing and marketing strategies.

At Klarna, we leveraged data to make underwriting decisions based on the smallest possible number of keystrokes, changing the way that millions of people shop online.

Scratch Financial is changing the way that Americans access to credit at the point of sale by bringing real-time underwriting and financing to the veterinary industry.

I look forward to sharing my insights with the next generation of data scientists.
