Leads the Interledger Foundation, the nonprofit stewarding the Interledger Protocol and the Open Payments standard — open, currency-agnostic payment rails built so digital financial services can reach people excluded from them. She grew the foundation from a team of three into a global grantmaking organization funding inclusive financial-service providers, fellowships, and open payments infrastructure, making interoperable fair-money access rather than any single currency the product.
