I started in finance in Chicago as a trader at a fixed income hedge fund. In a chance meeting with the CEO of Rapleaf, I was convinced to leave the world of finance to help change the world. At Rapleaf, we have built the modern world's data company - real-time, for the internet, and with a deep respect for consumer privacy. Our mission is to facilitate personalized and relevant experiences between companies and end consumers - making marketing more enjoyable for the end consumer and more profitable for our clients. Unlike most data companies, we were not born in the era of direct mail. We are a tech company out of Silicon Valley, and we process, validate, combine and deliver data better, faster, and simpler than anyone. We are built for where commerce and the data industry is going.
