PANEL: Reaching a Global Audience

Former Head of Marketing and Growth at Zynga, Glu Games, SwiftKey (acquired by Microsoft), and Drivemode (acquired by Honda). Currently consulting with Rappi and other leading global tech companies.

Charlie is the the Head of Growth for Going Merry, an early-stage scholarship and financial aid portal. She started her career in climate change research, in Colombia, India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. She then pivoted to the private sector, joining Prodigy Finance as hire #6. At the time, it was a seed-stage fintech startup with customers in over 100 countries; Prodigy has now raised $1.3 billion to date. After that, she worked at a Zambian mobile money company, which served markets across Southern Africa. She led its savings division and later its Growth team, winning an award from Zambia’s Central Bank for her work.

Between work and studying, Charlie has lived in 9 countries across 5 continents — and is excited to leverage that global experience on the panel today.
