Twine empowers people to save more, save better, and save together.
We're designers, programmers, researchers, strategists, marketers, analysts, and bookworms. We work from our startup office in San Francisco and John Hancock office in Boston.
👯 Originally from California, Alex has embraced the East Coast and calls New England home.
When she’s not crossing items off of her daily to-do list, she enjoys exploring the area while listening to her favorite country music, rooting for the Celtics and Patriots, and traveling back to the West Coast to visit family and friends
🎣At Twine, Ryan gathers data and forms insights by talking directly with real customers every day.
When he isn’t conducting research, you might find him fly fishing, taking care of his two brand new kittens, or enjoying a cup of freshly brewed pour-over coffee.
🚀In the fintech school of karate, Uri is a black belt. He’s worked to expand access to financial services since college—from founding a mideast micro-lender to building a VC in Sierra Leone.
Sometimes, he even sleeps (but dreams of Twine). He refuses to eat lunch without Sriracha involved.
👀 A staunch believer in consumer protection practices, Bob has made a career out of putting customers’ needs first.
In his free time, he can often be found jogging through Southie. He likes his tea to be English and his coffee Philz style. If a book has space travel or magicians in it, he’s probably read it.
🙏 Elena used to write code and has led product at various personal finance, e-commerce and referral marketing startups. She’s a self-starter that can make something out of nothing and loves building teams that make products people want to use.
When she’s not making stuff she salutes the sun (200 YTT), hikes or travels. Coffee is her jam.
🔮 Misty didn’t buy a single item of clothing or footwear in 2018; she’s competitive with new year’s resolutions.
When she’s not blogging, reminiscing on her rugby days, or tending to her Rottweiler, you can find Misty helping her clients make wiser financial decisions. Or making meals her toddlers will never eat.
🛳 Jeff believes that investing is for everyone, and wants to make sure people have the tools they need to make good financial decisions and achieve their personal goals.
He lives in the Boston area with his wife and Golden Retriever, and enjoys golfing and cycling in his spare time.
🍾 Susana brings over 15 years of financial services operations and compliance experience to the Twine team. She enjoys knitting, traveling, urban organic farming and all things food related.
While traveling, she always designs her itinerary around restaurant reservations.
👓 “Hey Bill, what programming languages do you know?” — “All of them.”
Bill was a nerd before nerds were cool. He came to California to study at UC Berkeley and has ridden the tech booms ever since. He’s excited to work on a product that helps people (and involves complex math).
⛄ Kai is often found in the lab (with a pen and a pad) tinkering with marketing and growth strategies..
When his nose isn’t in a book, Kai can be spotted exploring his new home in the Bay Area.
🤓 While hard at work in the Boston office, Emily has a passion and talent for building and maintaining robust operating processes between teams in Boston and abroad.
Outside of her love of numbers, she enjoys traveling and discovering fun new restaurants to add her list of favorites.
👍 Steve brings years of experience in financial advice to Twine, along with the guidance and support required to build quality, human-focused products. His goal is to make sure people have the tools they need to reach financial independence.
He enjoys traveling and hiking with his family any chance he gets.
🥑 Rob enjoys hiking, philosophy and Test Driven Development.
Many guys are proud to show off pictures of their motorcycle. Not Rob. Rob will show you pictures of his homemade Ethereum mining rig. “Cryptocurrency and smart contracts are going to change everything,” he says (with a wild look in his eye).
👼 He studied why some countries get wealthier—now he’s applying academic insights to help American families reach their financial goals.
Scott met Uri at Harvard’s Kennedy School. After a time managing emerging market investments, he rejoined him in California to start what we now know as Twine.
🏍 Pete started working with Linux starting with 12 Slackware floppies on a Pentium Pro 200. Since then, he has orchestrated software across thousands of machines.
When he is not working, he is spending time being a husband and a dad of four kids, who range in age from four to fifteen.
🤖 Michael joins Twine after a decade of work on robots and secret space stuff.
He is equal parts fancy and nice. You’ll probably find Michael at an artisanal cheese tasting — and you’ll definitely find Michael when you need help with your dev environment.
Dan has worked as an attorney for over 16 years and with that brings his expertise, way with words, and attention to detail to Team Twine. He makes sure that what we say as a company is exactly what we mean, and is always focused on the needs of Twine customers.
When he’s not in Boston, he loves to spend time in Florida.
🙂 Alex built his first website in 11th grade to promote La Sierra High School’s Prom of 2002. He has been building web experiences ever since.
When not writing JavaScript, Alex can be found in his kitchen cooking up new recipes. He enjoys the challenge of preparing vegetables because “anyone can cook a good steak”.
⛰️ Paul is always eager to explore. At the office you’ll find him combing through Twine’s data with everything from bash to tensorflow.
Outside work you’ll find him exploring nature. He had a wonderful time hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada and his friends refer to wearing boots and a bandana as his natural state.
🔎The kid who always asked why, Stewart took his questions to journalism school before realizing he could get paid to design websites. Now he’s asking questions to ensure that tech products actually solve real problems. He dreams of retiring early to study ancient civilizations.
⛸ Originally from Vancouver, Kaël loves all things northwest: skiing, snowboarding, and sushi. After quitting hockey at age four he went through several dream jobs including: dentist, apricot, and pilot. He settled with engineering and studied at the University of Waterloo.
When not typing on a keyboard, he’s at the rink, or spinning some of the hottest records.
👨🍳 California native and adventure seeker. Tyler loves to hike, fish, run, and BBQ when he’s not indoors.
He’s not great with spicy food, (though determined to not let it beat him) however he’s a super solid engineer. He enjoys tackling tough problems and coming up with creative ways to solve them.
🐶 At Twine, your favorite snack is always in stock. Your video conference link always works. It’s not magic—it’s Nahyun.
When not at at her desk with her guardian pet “Dino”, Nahyun is probably strolling the streets of San Francisco. She says hi to every dog she passes.
👟Sneakers? USC sports? Acquisition strategies? If you want to chat about these topics, Thomas is your guy. Having spent many years doing performance marketing in mobile gaming, ride sharing, and health tech, he’s now helping Twine go up and to the right.
Thomas digs a big sneaker drop, exploring various neighborhoods, and hiking in the Bay Area.
🏍 Through his years of customer service and product development, Kevin has helped make countless users feel at home.
He’s a big hockey fan (and a middling hockey player), a Bay-Area native, and when he’s not at work, he’s probably motorcycling by the ocean.
