Joseph H.

I am natively from the San Francisco Bay Area and have over 16 years of experience in the finance and technology industries. I attended the University of California, Berkeley from 1991 to 1996 where I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In 1996, I started as a technology consultant where I was able to use my software and hardware technology skills in various sectors. In 1997, I held a technology position with Barclays Global Investors and was involved in many strategic projects and roles during a time when Barclays Global Investors grew to become the largest asset manager in the world with over USD 1.7 trillion in assets under management. During this time I held many positions covering technology and business operations in trade operations, global trading systems, architecture and enterprise data management and operations. After Barclays Global Investors was acquired by BlackRock in 2009, I stayed on and managed the transition of data technology and operations to the new unified firm. I left BlackRock in 2010 after the completion of the merger of the two firms and started INTICO Holdings LLC.
I am currently the managing partner of INTICO Holdings LLC and have begun my dream of starting a nonprofit public benefit corporation. In 2013 I started The Amauta Foundation, which aims to identify young individuals in low socioeconomic areas in the San Francisco Bay Area who show a math, science, or engineering academic aptitude. The intention is to mentor, teach, and expose these young minds in disciplines, technologies, and projects to better prepare them for higher education and to align them with opportunities in the future to become the next generation of innovative minds in California.
