I’ve always been passionate about connecting people across borders, and my journey into the world of remittances started early. At 17, I was working as a cashier, learning the ropes from the ground up. Over the years, I explored every part of the business - from operations to compliance - which gave me a deep understanding of the industry and inspired me to launch ACE Money Transfer. Today, I’m proud to lead a company that’s helping millions send money home quickly, safely, and affordably. Over the past two decades, I’ve had a front-row seat to the evolution of fintech, digital transformation, and cross-border payments. I’ve always believed in the power of technology to simplify and improve people’s lives, and I’ve been fortunate to help lead ACE Money Transfer’s shift from traditional, cash-heavy systems to modern, fully digital platforms. We’ve embraced real-time payment infrastructure, AI-powered compliance tools, and intuitive mobile apps to make sending money faster, safer, and more accessible for millions around the world. At ACE, we’re not just moving money - we’re building trust. I work closely with central banks and regulators to ensure we deliver fully compliant services that rival informal networks like hawala, but with added transparency and security. We also take pride in hiring team members from the communities we serve, which helps us stay connected and culturally aware. I’m a firm believer in financial inclusion and ethical innovation. My goal has always been to create a secure, people-first remittance infrastructure that works for everyone - no matter their age, background, or where they call home.
