She has held senior leadership roles with many globally renowned firms including BlackRock, Natixis and Vinik Asset Management. Sherri thrives in global high-growth startup environments, where she creates formidable platforms for change by building high performance teams, strategizing scalable global operations, and steering financial and compliance integrity towards exponential organizational growth. Discovering her niche talent for providing strategic and tactical collaborative leadership to entrepreneurial startups, Sherri has been the driving force behind the creation of break-through organizations with co-founders from Highfields, Harvard Management Company, Convexity Capital & MFS. She has been pivotal in building 4 world-class global investment platforms which attracted pre-eminent investors, with growth from $0 to almost $1b AUM.
For a brief period, Sherri shifted her professional focus towards mission-driven work by helping non-profits improve their revenue, business development and operational strategies. Although the experience was rewarding, it served to confirm that her true passion lies within finance and entrepreneurial startups. Sherri became intrigued with block chain during a recent Wharton class, seeing it as a game-changing, disruptive innovation that holds the capability of completely transforming the RentToken landscape and is passionate to help build and participate in a new economic system supported by the nascent De-Fi technologies. Sherri sees the myriad ways De-Fi addresses the inadequacies and inequalities of the traditional financial infrastructure and believes there is great opportunity for traditional and neo-banks to collaborate and implement new technologies to support their existing framework. She feels honored to bring her leadership, financial, operational and compliance expertise to serve as an invaluable asset to RentToken’s continued success.
Sherri holds an MBA from Boston University, and a BS in Finance from Bentley University. She has completed coursework towards a MST from Northeastern University, as well as participating in executive education programs at Wharton.
She currently serves on the NE Regional Committee for Comfort Zone Camp, a non-profit grief organization helping children and their families who have lost a parent or sibling.
