Michael Krafft — CEO
Product leader with 15+ years shipping fintech and consumer products at the intersection of applied AI and high-craft UX. Known for taking complex, regulated platforms and driving measurable transformation — from platform modernization to net-new capability launches — with two successful exits along the way. My recent work centers on applied AI: I conceived and launched an LLM-powered concierge at FoundersCard (370% lift in benefit engagement) and built an AI trader coaching platform at NinjaTrader from 0→1. Earlier, I spent 10 years at American Express leading global acquisition and engagement platforms across 19 international markets — driving $2.2B+ in incremental charge volume and significant CAC and LTV improvements. Areas of expertise include: Product strategy & discovery · AI-enabled product development (LLMs, personalization) · Growth & monetization · Experimentation & analytics · Fintech & consumer platforms · B2C and B2B · Go-to-market & lifecycle
