She had been a “digital transformation” executive in various tech giants such as Amazon and Symantec (Norton Anti-Virus). She finished her corporate career as the Chief Digital Officer at Pizza Hut International and led its digital strategy for 108 countries.
Anya Hanna - Anya Hanna is the CEO of Find My Money, an asset recovery firm that has reunited hundreds of Californians with over $5 million in unclaimed funds.
