Assembled Brands is a Financial Technology company providing credit, analytics, and a partnership network to direct-to-consumer brands.

At AB I worked with Adam Pritzker (formerly of General Assembly, sold 2018). I led the Product and Engineering teams in migrating their data from a spreadsheet-based system into a proper database enabling cross-portfolio monitoring and analytics.

I developed a hiring plan to build out the Product and Engineering teams.

Referred to by Adam Pritzker as "wicked smart".
