Top SchoolLurein Perera is a founder and product-driven CEO with eight years of experience building mission-led fintech and climate ventures from New York. As Co-Founder and CEO of GiveCard since 2018 he has combined card-issuing infrastructure with product design to enable simpler giving, drawing on prior hands-on roles as employee #1 and backend engineer at TreeCard and multiple early-stage founder positions. He bridges technical leadership and product strategy, prototyping novel solutions (e.g., hybrid data-over-audio at Canor) and leading small engineering and growth teams to execution.
