Summary
Sumit Savla is a principal product leader with 12+ years of hands-on engineering and 7+ years of product management experience building identity, checkout, and fintech products at scale for millions of users. Currently leading QuickBooks Capital product efforts at Intuit, he has a track record at PayPal and AppFolio of driving password-less login, mobile SDKs, and account-security platforms that measurably increased conversions and reduced fraud and support costs. His work launched SMS OTP and trusted-device auto-login programs that added double-digit millions in revenue and cut SMS and fraud spend through pragmatic risk partnerships with InfoSec and fraud teams. Equally fluent in code and strategy, Sumit began his career as a mobile/web developer at BlackBerry and PayPal and still brings engineering rigor to product roadmaps and SDK design. He pairs a Georgia Tech MS in Computer Science with product training from Berkeley Haas, and is known for turning complex identity and authentication challenges into simple, testable user experiences. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to align cross-functional stakeholders—risk, compliance, payments, and engineering—to deliver multi-year, 0-to-1 platforms.
