Experience

  • Founder at MPWR
    Mar 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos

    At MPWR, we're redefining what it means to be “creditworthy” in a new economy—one where gig workers, creators, and non-traditional earners make up a growing majority, yet remain invisible to outdated credit systems. Over 45 million Americans are "credit invisible" or unscorable. Many are gig workers and freelancers—earning consistently, managing cash flow, and building businesses, but are excluded from access to affordable credit. Globally, over 1.7 billion adults face similar barriers. MPWR is seizing this massive market opportunity by building a more equitable financial infrastructure. Our platform combines alternative data, behavioral analytics, and AI-driven financial coaching to build “Credit IP”—a dynamic and inclusive credit identity that reflects real financial behavior, not just static scores. MPWR empowers underserved users to unlock capital, build financial resilience, and grow their economic potential. I founded MPWR after a career in media and growth strategy because I saw the systemic gaps holding back entrepreneurs, gig workers, and everyday earners. This isn’t just a fintech platform—it’s a gateway to upward mobility and equitable wealth creation.

  • Co Host and Co Founder at What the frac? Show
    Aug 2024 - Present · 1 yr 11 mos

    What the Frac? Show — The Growth Accelerator Businesses Didn’t Know They Needed (But Definitely Do) On What the Frac? Nicole and I are professional BS-cutters, business myth-busters, and the unapologetic business growth strategists. Think of our show as your weekly permission slip to flip tables in the boardroom (metaphorically… mostly). We get to the bottom of how founders, fintech rebels, and AI wizards are harnessing new tools, tactics, and AI into real talk about what fuels actual, sustainable growth — no buzzwords, no fluff, no boring chats. Expect spicy insights, hot takes, and enough “Wait, did they really just say that?” moments to make your CMO sweat. Our goal? To arm you with insights you can put into action now, not in that mythical “Q4” that never comes. If you’re bored of polite panels and watered-down webinars, good news: We're not. Tune in, send us DMs and we'll get your questions in, and let’s break some business barriers together.
