The transformative power of founder leadership

We’re thrilled to announce that Pritee Tembhekar, the founder behind Flyflow, is joining Rippling, as our new Director of Product for Rippling Spend.

Flyflow was born from a vision to simplify the cumbersome process of finding sales prospects. The founding team understood the power of simple B2B products that could replace several tools and workflows and had an intuition on how to build them. Pritee launched products at Plaid and Lithic that made creating complex financial products materially easier for customers. She incorporated the same principles of quality and simplicity into the Flyflow product and  embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that Rippling values deeply.

At Rippling, we believe that former founders are uniquely equipped to drive innovation. Their experience in building teams and products from the ground up makes them adept at navigating change and pushing the limits of what’s possible. Pritee’s path—from engineering at MIT to strategy roles at BCG and Google, followed by product management at Coinbase and Plaid—demonstrates her talent for clearly understanding and solving customer problems.

Her experience at Plaid, leading international product expansions across Europe, further refined her ability to adapt products to new market demands. Additionally, her transformative work at Lithic in streamlining card-issuing processes highlights her innovative thinking.

“Joining Rippling feels like a natural culmination of my journey. The cultural alignment is clear, and our shared vision around simplicity and customer-focused products is a perfect fit. I’m excited to contribute to Rippling’s mission of making complex processes seamless and continuing to support early-stage companies.”

We hire former founders like Pritee because they thrive on challenges and have an innate ability to make an immediate and significant impact. At Rippling, they are empowered to lead teams, drive new product initiatives, and accelerate the scalability of our platform.

Pritee’s decision to join Rippling is a testament to our nurturing environment where founders can continue their journey of innovation and growth. Her passion for creating simple, effective solutions aligns perfectly with our mission to serve early-stage companies with products that just work.

If you’re a founder or former founder, we’d love to hear from you. Join us in our mission to redefine the future of work with cutting-edge solutions. Welcome, Pritee. We’re excited to build together.
