Manuela Rios

VP Product at Strike. Previously at Robinhood and FiscalNote. Cornell University Alum.


I have a passion for sneakers, startups, and beautifully designed experiences.


Born in Colombia 🇨🇴, raised in South Florida ☀️, living in San Francisco 🏳️‍🌈

After seeing Robinhood blitzscale in my four years there (from 100 employees through IPO), I began to seek out people who were working on the next era of financial innovation. This led me to join Strike in December 2021 where I'm now responsible for the product management, design, data, content, and marketing teams that work together to build beautiful products on top of the Lightning Network. As a Colombian living in the U.S., it brings me immense pride to work on a product that eliminates borders and offers any and all individuals access to hard money. If you want to talk finance, Bitcoin, UX pet peeves, sneaker drops, or anything else, you can reach me through any of the mediums listed below. Hope to hear from you soon. Stay building!
