Summary
Rotimi Opeke is a product-focused founder and former PM with 11 years of experience building payments and customer-facing tooling across Facebook, Stripe, and early roles in investment banking and engineering. He now leads Cohesiv Health, applying payments and data infrastructure expertise to healthcare payment substantiation while also co-owning the N.C. Courage. At Stripe he scaled enterprise payments teams and revamped healthcare payments and invoicing for large merchants like Amazon and Klarna, and at Facebook he worked on SMB tooling and applied ML in payments. His background blends technical internships at Google and Huawei with Goldman Sachs deal experience, giving him a rare mix of product, engineering empathy, and financial rigor. Known for experimenting across payments, healthcare, and hospitality, he candidly treats many early ideas as “trash” lessons that shaped stronger ventures. Based in New York, he pairs operator experience with a founder’s appetite for hard, regulated problems.
