Title: Co-Founder and CEO Company: Stripe

As Co-Founder and CEO of Stripe, Patrick heads up a global leader powering the economic infrastructure of the internet. Driven by a mission to expand internet GDP, Patrick co-founded Stripe in 2010 with his brother John to transform the overly complex, fragmented world of online payment processing into a simple, developer-first solution. In the years since, Stripe has evolved from a seven-line code snippet into a multibillion-dollar ecosystem that handles hundreds of billions in transactions annually. Today, the platform powers the financial backbones of millions of businesses worldwide, ranging from early-stage startups to tech titans like Amazon, Meta and Salesforce. Patrick’ s influence extends far beyond core payment processing too. By expanding Stripe’ s portfolio into billing, fraud prevention, corporate cards and global banking-as-a-service, he has redefined embedded financial operations.
