Trisha Kothari is the co-founder and Chairman of Unit21, a solution that proactively mitigates risks tied to money laundering, fraud, and other illicit activities. She served as CEO from inception for over 7 years, leading the company through its early growth and evolution. Trisha is driven by a powerful mission to empower the fight against financial crimes. Her professional journey, deeply rooted in engineering and product management, includes significant roles at companies such as Google, LinkedIn, and Affirm. During her tenure as an early engineer and product manager at Affirm, Trisha gained firsthand insight into the gross inefficiency and siloed ways that AML and Fraud operated. This experience served as a catalyst for her to develop innovative AML and Fraud solutions that Unit21 now offers today.
After leaving Affirm in 2018, Trisha joined South Park Commons, a community of builders, tinkerers, and domain experts. There, she met her co-founder and began tinkering with the concept of Unit21.
