In an interview with Geoff Charles, Chief Product Officer at Ramp, he discusses the company's journey from a smart corporate card to a comprehensive financial operating system. Ramp aims to enhance corporate financial management by integrating AI technology, which automates expense coding more accurately than the average employee. Charles emphasizes the importance of fostering internal talent and maintaining a fast-paced, customer-centric product culture. Ramp's strategic expansion into accounts payable and treasury management reflects its commitment to optimizing capital allocation and financial workflows.
AI has become central to this mission. Charles notes that the average employee isn't hired to do expenses and doesn't have a finance degree: "Our latest models that are coding expenses for you are more accurate than the average employee."
We're continuing to really push leaders to build capabilities with their reporting lines. It's important for us to continue scaling and promoting internally, which is a big part of our culture at Ramp - to find early talent, to mentor them, to grow them, and to give them unlimited growth potential within the company.
The job to be done here is how you allocate capital within the company in the most effective way. Effectiveness means minimizing time spent while maximizing ROI on every dollar spent.
Geoff describes the product culture at Ramp as "intense," with product managers serving as the "pace keepers and pacemakers" of the tech organization. This culture of speed, decision-making, and customer-centricity has helped position Ramp as an innovator in the corporate finance space.
