Kathryn Petralia

Keynote Speaker: Co-Founder & COO at Kabbage; Expert in Technology Startups

Kathryn Petralia Biography

Technology has played a role in Kathryn Petralia's life since her parents gave her a TRS-80 computer at age nine. When Rob Frohwein shared his idea for Kabbage with Kathryn, she immediately saw the value in using technology to reexamine lending. She believed funding decisions could be automated based on access to real-time data generated by numerous business operations rather than a lengthy, manual process.

Kabbage provides financial services, including financing, to small businesses using real-time, verified data to acquire customers, underwrite and manage risk.

Before co-founding Kabbage, Kathryn spent nearly 20 years working with large and small companies focused on credit, payments and e-commerce. An English major (and Kabbage's resident grammar expert), Kathryn returned to her interest in technology to launch a number of successful startups. As someone who camped her way down the west coast to launch a commerce startup in the mid-90s, Kathryn can appreciate the lengths to which small businesses have gone to access capital.

She also served as Vice President of Strategy for Revolution Money, an Internet-based credit card startup, and was a corporate development executive with CompuCredit Corporation, where she was responsible for entering new markets, developing products and establishing strategic alliances.

She was on the 2017 Forbes list of Power Women and joined CARE’s Board of Directors in 2018, an organization dedicated to ending poverty.
