What I've done

Built and led a robust technology and analytics organization of 150 from 2005 to 2011. Was responsible for building the technology platform supporting the business including a CRM, Loan Management System, Predictive Dialer, Lead Management System and others. The same software platform now powers the business in 4 countries under almost 10 different brands. The platform heavily leveraged open source technologies, including Ruby on Rails, Asterisk, Linux, Postgres and others. In 2005, I joined what was then known as CashnetUSA and helped grow it from issuing 30 loans a day to over 10,000 in 2011. Cash America (NYSE:CSH) acquired CashnetUSA in late 2006 and is spinning it off in an IPO with an expected valuation close to $1B (NYSE:ENVA).
