Open FIN-301 →Finance, technology and entrepreneurship—taught from experience.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of banking, finance, technology and entrepreneurship. I have financed businesses and assets around the world, helped build specialty finance companies, led commercial lending teams and developed digital lending systems designed to make banking faster and more efficient.
My career has also given me the opportunity to build new businesses inside banks, including digital lending platforms and an eCommerce banking business. At Huntingdon Valley Bank, I helped grow the commercial loan portfolio from $13 million to more than $300 million while launching new lending, cash-management and technology initiatives.
Teaching lets me bring those experiences into the classroom. For many years I taught CEOs through the SBA Emerging Leaders program, combining academic frameworks with the practical realities of starting, financing and scaling a business. That same approach drives the materials and tools on this site.
