Summary
Chris Blackburn is a founder and payments-focused operator with 10+ years building product and GTM motion at the intersection of payments, platforms, and emerging tech. As Cofounder & CEO of Lattice he’s racing to establish an open standard for embedded payments after leading enterprise partnerships, product, and revenue at companies like Ouro, SoundCloud, DAX, and Grooveshark. He combines hands-on commercialization—scaling B2B deals and global partnerships—with a product-first view of infrastructure that enables continuous evolution from a single integration. A Columbia MBA and former Web3 payments consultant, he brings a rare mix of senior payments network experience, startup-scale revenue execution, and an appetite for creative ventures (music entrepreneurship and DJing) that informs customer-facing product strategy.
