Top SchoolLei Z is a product manager and former merchant tech lead with 9 years of experience combining mathematics, data science, and payments engineering to drive revenue-focused decisions in fintech. With an MS in Mathematics from NYU, Lei has built end-to-end analytics pipelines, merchant heatmaps, and forecasting models that informed strategies for major accounts like Nordstrom and LVMH and identified risk or dormancy among 5,000+ merchants.
