I build fintech platforms and partner ecosystems that drive growth, retention, and scalable customer value.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building Proposight, an AI-native B2B SaaS product for procurement and vendor evaluation. I created an LLM and human-in-the-loop workflow that normalizes pricing proposals, landed the first paying customer, and reduced decision cycles by 5x.
At Access Softek, I led the partner ecosystem strategy across APIs, SDKs, and an App Marketplace for 300 Credit Unions and 6M Americans. I grew the ecosystem to $12M in net-new ARR, launched 150+ vendor apps, and cut partner integration time from 12 weeks to 3 weeks.
I also led digital banking, SSO, credit-card issuance, real-time payments, fraud protection, and growth products. Across product, engineering, and GTM, I've built teams, shaped strategy and P&L decisions, and delivered measurable gains in retention, revenue, and customer outcomes.
