Founder

Seed, W15 (exited to Cross River Bank). I’m a serial entrepreneur and operator who has spent a large part of my career at the intersection of technology and banking. I've managed accounting for banks, built fintechs, and now I'm a FinTech banker. I was part of the early team that built Simple (the first consumer fintech bank) and led the process of its sale to BBVA. I then built the first business fintech bank called Seed which we sold to Cross River Bank and became its Head of Payments/BaaS
