Bio
Zoya Kolkin
Hannah has deep technical knowledge, the rare ability to explain complex concepts clearly to a layperson, and finely tuned emotional intelligence. All of these qualities make her a strong leader on the Acumen Finance team, and a sought-after collaborator on projects. Hannah's approach to problem-solving made it easy and enjoyable to work with her. I'd hands-down recommend her as a thought partner and team member.
