QTM returns this December with a special “Women in Queens Tech”-themed QTM 18! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience an informative keynote, engaging product demos, and local drinks. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
KEYNOTE:
Nicole Hamilton (https://twitter.com/nikhamilton) is the founder and CEO of Tactile Finance (http://www.tactilefinance.com), a technology company that makes complex financial decisions clear to consumers and uncovers new business opportunities by leveraging data and clarity. Tactile Finance’s first products revolve around home financing opportunities, and are used by finance professionals from many different banks and their customers. Nicole’s career has spanned several different technology sectors. Previously, she was the managing director of a enterprise software large-scale data analytics company, and before that, she worked in telecommunication software technology and the medical device industry, launching high-impact, innovative products. Nicole has spent her career developing and managing game-changing technology for large and competitive industries. She started Tactile Finance after she found it unacceptable that home owners and home buyers don’t have access to more sophisticated insight into the potential real estate outcomes of what is often their biggest asset, their home.
