Trevor Frese is a product-focused software leader and founder with 14 years of experience building and scaling consumer and banking products from zero-to-one. As a technical lead at Square he architected core systems for Square Card and Square Banking, improving developer build times by 800% and launching the company’s fastest-growing non-payments revenue stream. At Cash App he drove compliance-sensitive features and tax integrations that materially increased trading volume and product usage for millions of users. He thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where close collaboration with product and design at project inception accelerates feasibility decisions and staffing plans. A serial builder and early employee at startups (Founding Engineer at Earny, co-founder/CTO at Echo), he combines hands-on engineering with product strategy and growth instincts. Now based in San Francisco as CEO of a stealth startup, he continues to blend technical depth with entrepreneurial execution.
