About the team: Stripe's Executive Programs team builds relationships and experiences that connect senior customer leaders with Stripe's leadership, products, and strategy. We create forums where executives can exchange ideas, explore the forces shaping their businesses, and give Stripe direct, substantive feedback. Our executive advisory programs are an important part of how Stripe captures the perspectives of executive buyers.

Our goal is to connect these programs into a coherent system that brings the right customer perspectives into Stripe and helps product, marketing, and go-to-market teams act on what we learn.
