Will Gaybrick

President, Technology and Business (also styled President of Product and Business), Stripe.

Joined Stripe as its first CFO in October 2015 (PYMNTS): a software engineer by background who had worked at Jumo and Hunch and, from 2011, at Thrive Capital, and holds a law degree.

Why their word counts: A senior executive who runs product and business teams and says internal AI numbers on the record; Gaybrick is promoting the company, and the interview host's firm (a16z) invests in Stripe.
