With over 25 years of experience, I am a financial services professional specializing in index product development and management, as well as ETF education and marketing. For more information on my background and accomplishments, please check out this link.

My strengths include data wrangling and management, workflow optimization and automation, alongside a creative approach to distilling complex ideas into easily accessible themes.
I'm always eager to explore new challenges. What problem do you need solved?
