As a Director and Senior Managing Consultant currently serving client Fannie Mae, and previously as a Director of Product Development at Mastercard and Finicity, she has driven multi-million-dollar innovations from concept to market launch. Her expertise lies in recognizing opportunities within gaps and transforming them into scalable solutions through profound customer discovery and insights. With over 13 years dedicated to ‘all things product,’ Shraddha is intrigued by the synergy between people and products—understanding that while people create problems, they also create solutions. She thrives at the intersection of business and technology, integrating subject matter expertise into value-driven technical realities. In recognition of her contributions, Shraddha was named a 2022 Stevie® Award Finalist in multiple categories, including Innovator of the Year, Most Innovative Woman of the Year, Executive of the Year, Maverick of the Year, and Female Executive of the Year.

Her work on patent initiated Open Banking products has revolutionized bank connectivity, enabling rapid credit risk profiling and fraud detection all under a minute.

She finds her greatest joy in collaborating with diverse, dynamic individuals to solve challenges that are both complex and meaningful.
