A seasoned product leader and former startup co-founder, Prithvi specializes in scaling high-growth digital products at the intersection of FinTech, E-commerce, and specialized AI. Currently, as the Head of Product for Identity & Growth at N26, he oversees global onboarding and fraud-prevention initiatives. His work emphasizes early adoption of emerging tech—including agentic AI, GenAI, and LLMs—supported by a technical foundation from UC Berkeley. From launching the first global airline app with Apple Pay at Emirates to developing in-house ML models for credit risk at Nexi Group, Prithvi has a track record of turning complex technology into seamless consumer experiences.

Beyond his executive roles, Prithvi is deeply committed to developing talent and bridging the gap between engineering and human behavior. He actively conducts research into cognitive science and consumer behavioral patterns alongside faculty from leading business schools to better understand B2C dynamics. By combining this academic rigor with hands-on experience in building large-scale payment and risk platforms, he helps product teams build solutions that are both technologically robust and psychologically resonant.
