Founder/CEO

Previously worked as a McKinsey consultant and Indeed product manager, I led a team of offshore engineers to build an Upwork competitor differentiated by a focus on graphic design. Was an economics major in college but mastered advanced Spanish through extensive travels across Latin America. I enjoy reading about geopolitics, spelunking, and perfecting my freestyle stroke.
