💼 Past Experience
I have been a business analyst and CEO at Harvard College Consulting Group from 2011 to 2012 (1 year), at LendUp from 2013 to 2013 (less than a year), at Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH from 2007 to 2007 (less than a year), and founder of Shippo in San Francisco Bay Area. My experience with startups, customer acquisition, and NGO work are each relevant to my current role at Google.At Shippo, I founded and served as the CEO from 2011 to 2012. At LendUp, I led customer acquisition from 2013 to 2013, and held a variety of other executive roles including Director of Customer Acquisition, Vice President of Corporate Development, and Head of Strategic Development. I am also a member of the board of directors for GIZ.My previous roles have taught me how to build and lead teams of passionate people who are excited about their work. I have learned that startups are the best place to start my career because they are constantly inspiring and motivating their employees. In his paper “Creating Radically Successful Teams,” speaker Don Kanter indicates that a startup’s employees are “the most entrepreneurial and transformational people you could ask for.”[1] I believe that this is true at Google, where I am able to work with talented people who are excited to help shape the company’s future.
