We’re thrilled to welcome Karna Crawford as our new Chief Marketing Officer. Karna is a veteran marketing executive who has held leadership roles at J.P. Morgan Chase, Verizon and Ford. She will be a crucial member of our senior leadership team responsible for driving our global marketing efforts, including our marketing and brand strategy, demand generation, product marketing, and communications.
Karna comes to Marqeta with over two decades of experience in building high performing teams that create lasting brands ad business results within complex industries. She joins us at a time of increasing demand and scale for our platform and solutions. Last year, we processed more than $160 billion in total payments volume, representing more than 80x growth since 2017, and continue to bring much needed innovation to the payments industry. We have a big part to play in the evolution of financial services toward embedded finance and Karna was a clear choice to help us bring our story to a bigger stage.
Of her new role at Marqeta, Karna says “Marqeta has the solutions to fuel the embedded finance rocketship, and from my first conversations with leadership I knew that the opportunity to tell this story was huge. Working for some of the most iconic brands in the world, I’ve been able to leverage data, technology and insights to deliver hyper targeted marketing that drives growth and builds brands that connect with wider audiences. I’m looking forward to driving the Marqeta story forward as the company enters into a new chapter of its growth.”
We’re excited to see how Karna’s keen eye for data and understanding of how consumers interact with products helps to elevate Marqeta. Learn more about Karna and follow her here.
