I'm Sean
I was born in Chapel Hill, NC and currently live in Charlotte, NC after a short stint in Philadelphia for 4 years pursuing my dreams of playing division I lacrosse. I majored in Finance, but quickly found my passion elsewhere. I enjoy partnering closely with UX researchers and product managers to dissolve complex financial problems into useful and productive workflows.
When I'm not working – I can be found golfing, working out, or contemplating if I'm ready to be a dog dad.

What some of my colleagues say about me
Sean does so much, and I'd say the strongest is standing strong in his convictions. When stakeholders challenge the need for the UX team's recommendations (which are grounded in holistic, user-first thinking). Sean doesn't back down and makes optimizing the user experience necessary, when making strategic decisions.
-Vanguard teammate
Sean exemplifies developing others by going above and beyond for his team. He is constantly providing insights and sharing his wealth of knowledge on the financial wellness journey team.
-Vanguard teammate
Sean's ability to collaborate with the financial wellness journey is invaluable. The way he can synthesize research, and communicate complex information into simple requirements for the product team, contributes to the overall successful delivery of financial wellness products.
-Vanguard teammate
Sean's humble approach to collaborative ownership, his expertise, communication, and stakeholder engagement all make him a pleasure to work with. As we pioneer embedding teams and individuals across different Vanguard organizations, Sean is a great example of how we can work together to bring about common goals.
-Vanguard teammate
Sean has a great knack for asking the right questions at the right moments that prompts the team to pause and examine if what we're doing is actually the best path or just autopilot. If there was an MVP award for financial wellness, I'd nominate Sean in a heartbeat. He consistently impresses with his great ideas, attention to detail, and ability to take on difficult conversations with ease and grace.
-Vanguard teammate
From a teamwork aspect, I especially appreciate how he treats each person with respect and professionalism. He regularly solicits the opinions of the rest of the UX team when making key design decisions.
