About me
Anna Kinney serves as the Chief Technology Officer at Tongo. Tongo’s mission is to build financial products tailored to the commission economy. The traditional banking system was designed for salaried workers, while commission-based workers are a massive, underserved, and growing segment of the US workforce. Tongo believes everyone deserves access to convenient and tailored financial solutions to help them thrive professionally and personally.
Prior to Tongo, Anna spent 20 years at Microsoft, where she held various leadership positions leading v0/v1 products through the ideation, technical development, and launch. She holds an undergraduate degree from Emory University, and a MBA from the University of North Carolina.
Anna is a strong advocate for co-design—believing that the best products and services are created with customers, not just for them. She champions the idea that involving users directly in the design and development process leads to more intuitive, impactful, and widely adopted solutions. Her work reflects a belief in the transformative power of technology, not only in driving business innovation but also in fostering equity and solving real-world challenges through inclusive, collaborative design.
