​Keynote Speaker

​Laura Kornhauser, Co-Founder & CEO, Stratyfy

​When AI meets financial services, the stakes are high and the complexity is real. Laura Kornhauser has spent over two decades navigating exactly that intersection, building solutions that make credit risk, fraud, and compliance decisioning more accurate, efficient, and fair. As Co-Founder and CEO of Stratyfy, a MassChallenge FinTech 2020 alumna, she leads a company that proves transparent AI isn't a trade-off, it's a competitive advantage.

​Laura's path from 12 years at JPMorgan building risk and credit products to launching Stratyfy in 2017 is grounded in the kind of real-world experience that shapes practical innovation. Her Princeton and Columbia training sharpens what her time in institutional finance forged: an ability to see where legacy systems fall short and build something better. Today, Stratyfy works with institutions of all sizes to operationalize responsible AI at scale.
