Suneera Madhani is a payments and technology innovator who has catapulted her business idea from startup to $2B —disrupting the payments ecosystem as we know it. Before founding Fattmerchant in 2014, Madhani held a variety of successful positions, one being with a larger merchant services provider. After seeing the need for transparency and a better payment experience for merchants, her entrepreneurial spirit took hold and she decided to solve the problem herself. She built a company from the ground up that provided a sophisticated and merchant-friendly platform, coupled with the best experience to customers through transparency and award-winning customer service. Fattmerchant has revolutionized the payments landscape — challenging the status quo with its transparent, subscription-based model and unifying the payments experience through the development of an integrated payments platform. Under Madhani’s strategic leadership, Fattmerchant has grown exponentially over just 5 years; attaining triple-digit growth year after year, scaling operations in multiple cities across the United States, raising $20M in venture capital, and hiring nearly 100 employees. Madhani is hyperfocused on fostering Fattmerchant’s thriving culture that fosters purposefulness, growth, and inclusion. Fattmerchant has won multiple best places to work awards, including Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2018 Top Company Cultures, and was the fastest-growing Fintech startup in the Orlando Business Journal's 2019 Fast 50. Madhani has been recognized for her vast achievements and strength in business plan through various mediums including Forbes, Fast Company, Yahoo, Tech Crunch, Huffington Post, pymnts.com, Merchant Maverick, and the Orlando Business Journal.
