With a passion for creating inclusive financial products, Mack joined MPOWER five years ago as the first product manager.

Mack loves being around warm, compassionate people with big smiles! 👉 What's your MPOWER story? How did you find your way here? Building inclusive, accessible financial products has always been my passion. After working in financial regulation and banking, I was excited to join MPOWER as the first product manager five years ago. I’m proud of the financial products I’ve helped create, designed specifically for international students. 👉 What's the most rewarding aspect of your job at MPOWER? Hearing from individual students about the dreams they can now pursue because of the financial support we've provided. 👉 If you could share one thing about MPOWER with students, what would it be? As an international student, you’re about to make an incredible investment in yourself. Obtaining a competitive degree from a U.S. university will set your life on a completely different path. It’s worth it, and we believe you’re worth it. #teamMPOWER #EmployeeSpotlight #MeetTheTeam #MPOWERVoices
