Lyndsey Bunting
Lyndsey Bunting is the CEO and co-founder of Blue Onion, a New York-based financial data platform that automates reconciliation and bookkeeping for retail and ecommerce brands. A Wharton-trained finance operator who served as VP of Finance at Birchbox and CFO at Resonance Companies, she started Blue Onion in 2020 to fix the messy, manual reconciliation work she lived through every month.

A 25-year enterprise software operator, he has held senior roles at Anaplan, Infor, Heavy.ai (formerly OmniSci / MapD), and co-founded the SaaS marketing platform Orbis with his brother in Australia in the late 1990s.
Nishant Nair
Nishant Nair is the Founder and CEO of RecVue, a Palo Alto-based enterprise revenue operating system that manages over $100 billion in revenue for global enterprises.
