Ouro is the global financial technology company created when Rêv and Netspend joined together to reignite innovation in financial services for consumers. The Austin-born, Austin-raised fintech was founded in 1999 by brothers and accomplished entrepreneurs Roy and Bertrand Sosa who made Austin home after relocating from Mexico as teens. Ouro’s women to watch bring a potent mix of grit, creativity, and expertise to Ouro’s mission of expanding and empowering financial access.

Emily Keeton | Chief of Staff to the CEO

Emily’s career spans investment banking, venture capital and executive leadership. Formerly, she was operating partner for early-stage venture fund Loeb.nyc. Previous roles include CEO of Tempest, a digital health platform, and WeWork’s Global Head of M&A and Creator Fund Managing Director. Keeton’s dedication to Texas’ tech ecosystem through board and advisory roles extends to Austin, a tech community that she describes as distinctively entrepreneurial and supportive. Keeton is equally fond of Austin’s natural beauty and its endless outlets for her lifelong love of art, film and live music. She comes by her affection for Austin honestly as the granddaughter of former University of Texas Law School Dean, Page Keeton, and the niece of Austin’s first woman mayor. Keeton also serves in advisory roles for Houston’s Mercury Fund and Rice University’s Liu Idea Lab for Entrepreneurship at Rice University. She earned her MBA from Harvard.

Frances Pinedo | Chief Operating Officer

Frances brings over 25 years of financial services experience to Ouro. She served on the early management teams at Rêv Worldwide and Netspend, combined to create Ouro, and has worked at HSBC and USAA. An MIT graduate, Pinedo has called Austin home since relocating from rural California’s Salinas Valley. She takes great pride in her roots and keeps close ties with family there. She credits her parents, who immigrated from Mexico, for gifting her a strong sense of adventure. She sources pride from a strong relationship with her spouse and “partner in life”–their executive careers have overlapped for many years now–and from their grown children whose professions include engineering, science and philosophy. Pinedo promotes higher education in STEAM fields through her work with the Avanza Network. She hopes women who see themselves in her journey know there’s room to grow in their careers no matter where they start.

Natalie Taylor Thuss | Senior Vice President, Senior Litigation Counsel

After representing businesses and individuals in litigation for 18 years, Natalie Taylor Thuss is excited to bring her legal experience in house to Ouro. A lifelong Austinite, Thuss navigates complex legal and business matters while raising four children (including triplets). After earning an engineering degree from Vanderbilt University and her law degree from the University of Texas, Thuss built her law career in Austin; most recently as a founding member of Taylor Thuss PLLC. Previously, Thuss worked at a large international firm, as well as a premiere litigation boutique, where she represented both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide array of commercial litigation concerning business contracts and partnerships, intellectual property and licensing, corporate, securities, consumer matters, employment disputes, real estate and more.
