About Me

I build products that cut through complexity and get execution moving.
Cory Bagozzi
Over the last two decades, I've led teams in fintech, SaaS, and EdTech, building systems in high-stakes environments where the right tools didn't exist. My work has ranged from creating AI-powered automation for payments to designing classroom tools that help students share real-time feedback with teachers. I've served as Chief Product Officer, founder, consultant, and hands-on builder. My approach is "full-stack product leadership"—equally comfortable diagnosing strategy and leading execution as I am prototyping an idea in code.Most recently, I served as Chief Product Officer at BlytzPay, leading product and engineering for a payments platform used by lenders and merchants. I built and scaled initiatives like a cash payments network across 88,000 retail locations, AI-powered voice collectors, and automation that cut manual work by 75%. These efforts drove faster execution, stronger distribution, and measurable business impact.

What I bring

  • Product Strategy: I bring order to complex, messy problems, define what matters most, and align teams on clear priorities.
  • Payments Expertise: I've built and scaled card, ACH, and cash systems with a focus on compliance, risk, and automation.
  • Scaling Execution: I operate as both an IC for complex, high-stakes problems and as a player-coach who can guide teams to deliver at pace.
I thrive at the intersection of product, technology, and distribution. My track record spans hands-on execution, leadership roles, and coaching teams to move faster while staying accountable.If you're looking for a leader who can both set strategy and deliver outcomes, I'd be glad to connect.
