Sameer Gulati is the Chief Product Officer (CPO) & President of ZenBusiness


Sameer joined ZenBusiness in March 2022 after two decades building products across B2B, fintech, and financial services. He leads the teams integrating AI, embedded finance, and automation into the ZenBusiness platform – work aimed at one outcome: helping new small business owners get further, faster.

Outside ZenBusiness, he serves on the board of CarIQ, an AI-driven payments platform for vehicles, a role that keeps him close to the same problem he solves for every day: using technology to make complex operations simpler.

"Stay close to the problem… The best leaders I've seen still make time to understand what customers are dealing with firsthand, as opposed to just what gets filtered up to them."
