Experience

1. Americas Innovation Ecosystems & Alliances Activation Senior Innovation Consultant

   EY

   Apr 2022 — Present

   Americas Innovation is a cross service-line (Consulting, Assurance, Tax, SaT, and CBS), cross industry sector, cross region ecosystem (including the United States, Latin America, Canada, and Israel) that centralizes innovation efforts within EY to drive scale efficiencies, promote a creative mindset, and enable a collaborative culture firm-wide. Our goal is to help clients navigate internal and external resources, funding, and tools needed to develop ideas and prototypes from vision to reality. The Ecosystems and Alliances Activation team helps unlock the full value of our extensive internal and external global network and distribution channels. We are best positioned to identify, connect, and activate innovation focused players to tap into new trends and collaborate on disruptive ideas. Additionally, I am involved with the “EY Entrepreneur of the Year” Program for the LA region - for FY22, I wrote executive summaries after candidate interviews to supplement applications for judges to review and helped coordinate the volunteer duties for event setup.
