Lauren Crossett is the Chief Revenue Officer at Pinwheel, the leading payroll connectivity API. Lauren’s innate interest in financial services led her to the industry right after she graduated from Fordham University. Over Lauren’s career, she has held roles at companies such as Mass Mutual, Rebellion Research, and has spent the last 7+ years working on connectivity APIs at Quovo, Plaid, and now Pinwheel. Prior to joining Pinwheel, Lauren led Plaid’s wealth team and focused on bringing the delightful Plaid user experience to traditional wealth management companies. Such a unique combination of fintech and traditional financial services experience positioned Lauren as Pinwheel’s newly minted CRO, supporting the company’s mission to build a fairer financial system by increasing financial account portability and empowering customers to offer new products that will put an end to payday lending.

In her free time, Lauren can be found on her family-founded organic farm. Lauren is also passionate about supporting upstarts and is an avid angel investor.
