Meet Rashmi Melgiri. After a successful run as the #2 at Coverwallet, Rashmi saw a problem she was uniquely fit to solve– and she was driven to do it from the CEO seat herself. In this episode we feature:

• Her company Functional Finance
• Her leadership journey and what it took to establish her own, authentic voice
• How she stepped off the consultant trajectory and became a founder
• How she was uniquely positioned to identify and act on a problem she saw in the market
• Lessons from running a company for a second time around
• A surprise puppet
• And much more!

Our mission is to empower insurance companies with innovative financial software. By making billing, payments, and reconciliation work together in one easy-to-use platform, our clients can focus on delivering exceptional service and growing their business.
