Helping graduate a generation, beyond poverty

Role: Product Director  –  Organization: Vittana

Vittana was the pioneer provider of digitally crowd-funded microloans to students in the developing world who could otherwise not afford higher education. During my time as Product Director, Vittana doubled crowd-funded loan volume through our web platform to over $2M/year. Vittana was a non-governmental 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Seattle— partnering with Kiva in 2014 and then closing its doors shortly after.
