About Sunil Padiyar

Sunil Padiyar is Chief Technology Officer at Trintech. Location: Plano, Texas, United States.

I’m a technology leader who has spent my career building and scaling high-growth B2B SaaS platforms, guiding multiple PE-backed companies from early stage to successful exits and IPOs. Today, I’m focused on how AI, data intelligence, and autonomous systems can redefine enterprise software for the Office of the CFO and beyond. At Trintech, I lead the transformation of a $1T+ transaction platform trusted by Fortune 100 finance teams—embedding Generative AI, agentic systems, and governed data fabrics that bring speed, precision, and insight to the financial close process. Previously: CTO, Corcentric – Scaled a profitable FinTech SaaS business to $150M+ ARR with 25% YoY growth, unifying multiple acquisitions into a cohesive platform. CTO, FacilitySource (Warburg Pincus) – Grew revenue from $40M to $250M and led the company through a successful acquisition by CBRE. Co-Founder, SalesLogix – Built one of the first CRM platforms, scaling from $0 to $100M and taking the company public. Across these journeys, I’ve led global engineering teams of 300+, architected large-scale FinTech and SaaS systems, and delivered secure, high-performing products across verticals—from finance automation (AP, AR, S2P, O2C, Payments) to CRM, CMMS, and supply chain. I maintain trusted relationships with CEOs, boards, and PE/VC investors, known for bridging technology vision with measurable business outcomes. Recognized with awards such as the Arizona Software Association’s Technology Innovation Award and Microsoft’s “Best Small Business CRM,” I’m also the author of a book on secure network design published by Prentice Hall. Beyond the enterprise, I actively experiment with generative systems—composing music and producing short films entirely created through AI. In just over a year, my YouTube and Instagram channels have surpassed 100M+ views and 500K+ subscribers and followers, earning multiple international awards, including four wins and a Hollywood screening at the Artificial Intelligence International Film Festival. These projects serve as my applied AI laboratory, exploring how multimodal models—language, vision, and sound—collaborate to create, learn, and engage global audiences. What I learn there feeds directly back into my enterprise work—shaping how I design agentic, human-aligned AI systems for real-world impact.
