In her new role with OrbisPay, Dr. Kachroo will be working with the company’s executive team and board to oversee operations, global business strategy, compliance, marketing, and technology development to implement OrbisPay’s earned wage access (EWA) platform, and build a pipeline of fintech products for employers and employees around the world to improve financial wellness for workers.
Dr. Kachroo has her SJD in law from Harvard Law School and comes to OrbisPay with over 25 years of experience practicing law in both legal and regulatory areas.
