Annie Hockey is the co-CEO of Column, a nationally chartered bank that publicly launched in 2022 for developers who are building modern financial products and services. After witnessing the bottleneck created by the legacy banking stack, Hockey and her co-founder set out to build the first API-centric bank that gives developers the tools they need to seamlessly provide banking services in any application. Column’s customers have included corporate credit card company Brex and debit card startup Point.

Hockey leads, among other functions, the regulatory, legal, accounting, and human resources aspects of Column, drawing on her business experience. Previously, she worked at Bain & Company and Goldman Sachs, and was an early employee at various Silicon Valley startups. She graduated with honors from both Stanford University and Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, where she was an Arjay Miller Scholar. She lives in the Bay Area with her husband, William, and their lab, Ollie.
