CleverCards
At CleverCards, I was Head of Design for a global payments platform where I led the redesign of digital payments applications, launched several new enterprise products, and was pivotal in establishing a new Mastercard partnership. I onboarded a newly acquired spend management team, and under my leadership, CleverCards improved product cohesion, launched a new Design System, accelerated design + product delivery, scaled and expanded product offerings into new markets including EMEA and the US thus driving adoption and revenue.

When I joined, CleverCards was narrowly focused on electronic gift cards, with limited user reach and untapped revenue. The brand, mobile app and UI/UX were out dated. Scaling required a complete redesign as well as expanding into enterprise solutions designed to manage payments at scale. I led the Product Design team to deliver on a comprehensive spend management platform, a key partnership with MasterCard, a business portal with advanced reporting, new procurement workflows, and overcame regulatory hurdles that come with expanding into new regions.
