I'm an entrepreneur driven by a desire to create social impact. At Savi, I build the partnership and growth engine that helps Americans manage and pay off student loans. Before that, I spent a decade building businesses that give back, from a donut shop that funded local nonprofits to an impact investing advisory.
Savi is the platform that helps Americans manage and pay off their student loans. My job is making sure each side of the table gets measurable value: lower payments and forgiveness for borrowers, retention and ROI for employers, embedded financial wellness for partners.
I work with benefits leaders, fintech operators, and anyone at the intersection of consumer finance and public policy.
