Joe Oehmke

Hi! I'm Joe, cross-functional leader with 10+ years experience advising, leading, and growing high-performing tech companies. I'm passionate about building strong teams and processes to help companies scale quickly and sustainably. Here's how I approach my work.

I was the first employee at embedded finance platform Unit, where I spent 5+ years building the company to a $1.2B Series C valuation (2023) and $35M+ ARR. My roles during that time included Chief of Staff, head of bank relationships, and VP Operations. Over the years I built and managed our bank sales, customer success, customer support, biz ops, and platform teams, among other responsibilities (startup life! many hats!).  

I have a background in law, consumer financial protection, and strategic consulting. I'm passionate about using technology to create better tools and a more inclusive financial system. 

In my free time, I'm probably playing with my kids, reading (recommendations welcome!), or running (currently working myself back into shape after a couple years off).

If you'd like to talk ops, fintech, startups, or anything else, I'm always happy to connect. Reach out on LinkedIn or email to say hi!
