👤
SeniorShaunt Sarkissian is a serial founder and technology executive with a decade of experience building and exiting payments, mobile commerce, and digital identity ventures. He founded and led Cortex MCP to acquisition by Uphold and went on to serve as EVP Head of Payments and Chief Markets Officer at leading fintech firms, before founding AI-ID and Innovian Ventures. Shaunt combines product-led engineering with strategic market development, holding multiple US and international patents that underpin his platforms.
