Sunayna joined the Federal Reserve System in 2021 as its first Chief Innovation Officer. With a bias for action, she leads the Fed's innovation agenda, in collaboration with business and technology partners to strengthen innovation culture across the 12 Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors, and to ship meaningful outcomes that deliver value to the constituents and communities that we serve.
Sunayna brings 10+ years of global experience leading change and innovation at the nexus of finance, technology and policy. Prior to the Fed she led digital transformation as a builder, operator and venture investor within the fintech and crypto ecosystem, in North America and Asia. She is a proud alumna of the University of Alberta and Stanford University.
When she’s not nerding out on all things innovation, you can find Sunayna adventuring the skies in her Cessna.
