Here’s Why

There’s no better time.

OPEN and Amex are on top of our game. Competitors are coming quickly and are hungry. That makes it a great time to challenge ourselves to stretch.

There are far worse gigs.

I grew up with it.

My parents started a business when I was 10. It created many opportunities for me along the way & I’m mega grateful. Joining OPEN means a lot to me personally.

We believe in what we do.

Not sure when, but I ♥ B2B

OK, I know when it happened: I had back-to-back roles fostering developer ecosystems with new tools & products. It forced a wholly different perspective.

OPEN has a societal impact.

Improving small business can improve the lives of millions of americans. That is genuinely a pretty big deal & makes a huge difference to everyone’s bottom line.

Amazing people are here.

I’m honored to join a team with so many talented people with diverse backgrounds and skillsets. I hope I share as much as I’ll learn.

OPEN has imagination.

This is one of the most creative and focused places I've seen in the American Express umbrella. Also, one of the most adventurous.

Take chances. Be bold.

We've built many great things for our customers. But not everything has been successful. I'm excited to join a place where people think inventively & fearlessly.

Our dreams are not silly.

I've seeen OPEN reframing problems, asking questions, and coming together to solve for a customer...a solid approach. Sometimes uncomfortable, but solid!

Every day matters.

Today is awesome, which also makes it the right time. And OPEN is the right place. I'm excited to follow my passion for making a diffeerence. Today.

Last but not least, optimism.

A big part of our mission is believing that we can uplift our customers' success. We believe that a rising tide floats all boats. We think that we can make a difference.
