About

I'm Angelica, a founder building in regtech with more than a decade of experience architecting systems for regulated industries. I also host Soft Money, a current events podcast through the lens of professional women.

Experience

Process design

I started in legal operations, where deadlines are fixed and mistakes are expensive. I stepped up to lead the team and rebuilt how it worked, from its processes and reporting to the training new people learned from.

It's where I learned that good systems are what let people stay calm when the stakes are high.

Risk, credit & trust

Next I moved into credit, risk and mortgage operations in fintech, where every decision has to be both fast and defensible.

I built and ran an entire operational process from nothing, with the workflows, the phone line and the inbox, so customers had one clear path through a complicated moment.

Revenue systems architecture

In enterprise fintech, I architected the systems a global go-to-market team ran on: CRM, data, attribution and the programs that tied them together.

I owned the roadmap as a product owner, translating what sales, finance and leadership needed into systems they could rely on.

Founder

Now I'm building HighLayer, which takes a methodology I've used across every chapter and applies it to public legislation and regulation.

It's the system I wished I'd had in every high-consequence room I've worked in, so teams can bring AI into their work without giving up control.
