Mike Clarke is a seasoned product and technology executive with 16 years of hands-on experience building developer-first banking and payments infrastructure. As a startup co-founder and former Chief Product Officer and VP of Engineering at Treasury Prime, he helped scale the platform to millions of accounts and tens of billions in payments and deposits while launching embedded banking and analytics products. Now CTO at Modem in San Francisco, he blends product vision with deep engineering chops—APIs, event-driven backends, and data platforms—to accelerate time-to-market for fintechs and banks. He has a track record of reducing integration lead times from months to weeks or days and shipping developer-friendly tools like API sandboxes and public docs. Comfortable in both early-stage and high-growth environments, he pairs technical execution with team-building, leveling frameworks, and compliance-minded design. Trained as an electrical engineer at Notre Dame, he brings an operator’s pragmatism and a founder’s appetite for solving complex financial infrastructure problems.
