In her later years there, she focused on hiring for the org's most critical priorities including engineering leadership and highly specialized tech roles.

Most recently, she made the jump to the startup world at Credit Genie, a Series B fintech. There, she helped build the Risk and Engineering teams from the ground up, while making key leadership hires.
