Product Leader
Florian Wahl
Product Manager · Photographer · Engineer · Strategist · Thought Leader
Engineer by trade and fintech geek by passion, I build product organizations grounded in trust, customer obsession, and continuous learning. I've spent a decade in fintech: five years in consulting with banks on digital transformation and open banking, then over four years at Akoya. There I owned product strategy and commercialization, and helped grow the data access network from nothing to billions of requests per month and seven figures in revenue. I'm now back to my entrepreneurial roots at an early-stage AI startup, exploring what product leadership means across AI and fintech today. I speak and write about the fintech and product space.
