About
Mission, purpose, and meaning drive my work at DivDat Kiosk Network. We have created an interface that enables people outside the traditional financial system to build credit.
DivDat develops payment solutions that improve the lives of consumers — many of whom go through extraordinary measures and expense to pay bills — and improve efficiency for a biller.
My passion for DivDat comes from the fact I am involved in building something groundbreaking. While my role as Chief Information Security Officer is to manage data, network risk, and exposure, that passion comes from seeing the platforms in action, making a difference in people’s lives.
As part of my team’s efforts to avoid breaches, mitigate risks, and drive security, we are making some revolutionary changes to tackle hard problems and find solutions.
The more safe, secure, and reliable DivDat’s products are, the better we can serve the nation’s underbanked and underserved.
