Join us in The BreakLine Arena as we share tech industry insights, hear from industry titans, and celebrate the stories of our amazing alumni community. In this episode we have the opportunity to hear from BreakLine alum, Katie Finnegan.

“Don’t sell yourself short.”

This is the number one piece of advice Roblox’s newly minted Senior Manager of Moderation Core Functions Katie Finnegan has for anyone aspiring to enter a brave new chapter in their career.

Prior to joining Roblox, Katie served in the United States Air Force where she held various roles ranging from Flight Commander to Chief Intelligence for a top US Army Intel General in Afghanistan.

As Senior Manager of Moderation Core Functions at Roblox, Katie and her team play a critical role in creating a safe gaming environment for all ages to connect and play.

When asked about her experience in her new role Katie shared, “It was so appealing to go from a role in the military where I was responsible for providing intelligence to keep people safe on the ground to now doing that in a different capacity on the internet.”

From her first call with her recruiter Colby Aymar, to the continued support of champions like Candice Tang, and fellow BreakLine alum Joel Silk, Katie says she feels truly welcomed by the entire team at Roblox.

Congratulations Katie and thank you for sharing how your military experience translated directly towards success in this most recent chapter of your career!
