Michelle Bonner Techel​

I advise C-suite executives and boards on AI, fintech, and scaling decisions. Before going independent, I led commerce and payments at Meta, where I helped launch Instagram Shopping and Marketplace, then ran a 100-person product marketing team. At Wells Fargo, I built Apple Pay from the ground up and hold the primary patent for a key piece of its technology. Earlier, I worked directly with President Clinton and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. I now advise Character.ai, Oppenheimer Energy Ventures, and founders in stealth. Ask me about board governance, fintech and payments strategy, scaling AI companies, and advising CEOs on complex decisions.
