Prior to co-founding Vital4, she co-founded and served as a Managing Partner of one of the first independent wholesale international background screening firms in the US. The platform was sold to Dun and Bradstreet in 2021.

She previously managed the financial operations of a large Atlanta-based financial services corporation, served as a senior consultant for Delta Technology and Northern Trust Bank, and held a management role within a start-up division of GE Capital.
