Ken Stowell is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with nearly two decades of software experience and 12 years in senior engineering roles, currently shaping Fintech product and platform strategy at FlowFi in Portland. He specializes in scaling transaction-heavy systems and architecting reliable data pipelines—skills honed at Acorns where he led teams handling millions of transactions and 2M MAU for bank linking and partner revenue products. Ken combines hands-on engineering pedigree from earlier IC and consultancy work (including telematics, inventory systems, and DoD analytics) with operational leadership in incident response, SDLC governance, and hiring. He’s comfortable driving cross-functional initiatives such as direct bank linking to reduce third-party costs and building dev experience programs like hackathons. Based in the PNW, he balances technical depth with product-minded leadership and a fondness for craft beer, guitar, and the outdoors—traits that keep his decision-making grounded and team-focused.
