About Mari Kent

I love creating, innovating on, & growing new products & ideas to solve real user needs—especially to improve access & equity at scale. I believe in the power of diversity, connections, & intersectionality to drive true innovation. I have a love affair with learning & ideas, resulting in a pattern of landing in innovation-based roles in legacy companies. I tried out the startup life in FinTech for a few years, specifically with financial transactions services within banking and investment banking. I\'ve since returned to my EdTech roots, focusing on the career and nontraditional education space. Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity isn\'t, and I want to build tools to fix this.I learn fast, pivot fast, and love a new challenge. Let’s dare to disturb the universe, just a little.
