GM and Head of Product
Gusto
Rachana is the Product and GM leader founders call when things are messy and need to scale fast. With a career built on metabolizing ambiguity, she specializes in turning stagnation into velocity. Rachana doesn't just manage growth; she engineers it by resetting strategy, rebuilding leadership, and right-sizing organizations for maximum impact.
Her track record spans from founding startups to leading multi-billion dollar platform and AI orgs at Meta and Wayfair. Most recently, she led a high-stakes turnaround at Gusto, where she restructured an underperforming acquisition—optimizing the team from 70 to 30 while putting the business on a path to double its ARR. Whether it’s navigating complex identity and ML platforms or scaling e-commerce ads, Rachana is the leader brought in when the status quo is no longer enough.
