Brian Wrightson is Co-Founder and CTO at Latitude, a Texas-based global payments infrastructure company that uses stablecoin rails to enable instant, low-cost cross-border money movement for businesses worldwide.

Brian studied Computer Science and History at Brooklyn College, then built his career at Facebook as a Product Manager before spending a decade at Coinbase and Stripe as a product leader in payments and financial infrastructure.

Brian brings rare depth across both product and engineering, having witnessed the persistent inefficiencies in global payments from multiple vantage points at two of the world's most influential fintech companies.

At Stripe, Brian was a product leader before co-founding Latitude in early 2025 alongside CEO Cyril Mathew and Vivek Morzaria, with the company raising an $8M seed round led by NEA and a $35M Series A led by Oak HC/FT.

Latitude's Liquidity Network enables US businesses to send payments to over 50 markets in local currencies at a flat 0.5% fee, operating across 45 US markets with a 15-person team across New York, San Francisco, and London.
