Thomas Faber · Senior product leader & former fintech founder

I build financial products all the way through.

From what the customer sees to what actually happens to the money.

I co-founded a regulated investment company and built it to more than 4,000 customers. More recently, I led products at LI.FI across funding, integrations and money movement.

LI.FI

Turned a checkout idea into funding infrastructure.

At LI.FI, I owned Checkout alongside Widget and SDK. Customer conversations changed Checkout from an owned interface into funding infrastructure partners could build on. I led the product work through to private beta.

Transaction integrity

Designed for what happens when money doesn’t follow the happy path.

At Rudy, a single investment could cross orders, execution, settlement, custody and blockchain systems. I worked on how we tracked what had actually happened, what was still pending and what to do when something got stuck.

About

I'm based near Heidelberg.

Outside work, I play tennis, go down far too many rabbit holes and make a lot of pizza. I enjoy people who are curious, don't take themselves too seriously and are happy to disagree about things.

At nineteen, I went to the US for Work & Travel and somehow ended up spending six months driving a truck and trailer full of industrial machinery around eight states.

Long story.

I still haven't learned to leave things alone once they interest me.
