Global Customer Experience Lead
LinkedIn

May strongly believes in the power of technology to empower individuals and democratize opportunity. She started her career as a documentary filmmaker before transitioning into corporate America to lead product and customer experience teams driving digital transformation, and building innovative solutions across web, apps, and chatbot/ai platforms.

 She brings a unique and creative perspective to her work, with an MFA from UCLA and a BA from Harvard, and having worked with leading brands such as Disney and Barbie and across Fortune 50 companies including AT&T and Comcast-NBCUniversal. She is committed to sponsoring diverse talent in her career journey.

May is a proud Ugandan, wife and mom of three kids who remind her everyday of her favorite quote: “We are all different and we are all alike. What matters, most however, is that we are all significant.” She is grateful for her community and mentors, especially the Ron Brown Scholar Program.
