Carol Grunberg builds and scales businesses at the intersection of identity, payments, product, AI enabled trust, partnerships, and human judgment. Her career spans large enterprises and high growth technology companies during major market transitions, from the early evolution of mobile wallets and global digital payments to digital assets and, now, AI enabled identity and trust infrastructure. Today at AU10TIX, Carol focuses on global growth, product strategy, enterprise strategy, and strategic partnerships, helping shape the trust infrastructure businesses increasingly depend on as AI, deepfakes, synthetic identities, and autonomous interactions reshape the digital economy. Her work centers on building ecosystems where automation, intelligence, and partners work together to create trust at scale. Previously, she served as a General Manager at Northwestern Mutual, held Managing Director and Global Head roles at Citi, where she helped build the digital assets business within Treasury and Trade Solutions, work that helped lay the foundation for what later became Citi Token Services. She also held leadership positions at Google and Ant Group, including as a founding member of Google Wallet, founder of Google Commerce Incubation, and Head of Growth for Alipay’s international business, helping drive the early expansion that became the foundation for what is now known as Alipay+. Beyond her operating roles, Carol previously served as President of PayTech Women, was on the board of the American Red Cross of Wisconsin, and currently sits on the board of TeamUnity, a Harlem, New York based organization focused on the social determinants of health. Across every chapter, her through line has remained consistent: identifying where markets are moving, building the products, teams, partnerships, and ecosystems that accelerate adoption, and turning emerging infrastructure into scaled commercial reality.
