Before joining Orchard in 2014, Brad served as a lead technologist at Booz Allen Hamilton, a consulting firm based in Virginia, focusing on everything from the modeling and simulation of telecommunication networks to cyber security analytics and web-based training. He graduated with a Computer Science degree from the University of Virginia, which means that not even being a resident of New York can remove the pastel polo shirts and Rainbows from his wardrobe. The most exciting aspect of being a part of the Orchard team? Being right next to Eataly and their amazing prime rib sandwich. Being positioned to disrupt marketplace lending is a pretty close second though.
