Rangan brings a wealth of experience in innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), and business scaling to DoubleCheck, a financial technology platform that benefits credit unions, banks, and their customers. He most recently served as Chief Innovation and Information Officer (CIIO) at ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

In his new role, Ash will focus on scaling and stabilising DoubleCheck’s current operations, driving innovations, and expanding the reach of DoubleCheck’s award-winning solutions.”

Rangan, expressing enthusiasm, said, “I am honoured to be a part of DoubleCheck and look forward to contributing to its continued success and growth. The management team of Joel Schwartz and Bill Amelio established DoubleCheck’s reputation as one of the most innovative companies in the FinTech space. In fact, Jack Henry recently recognised DoubleCheck with its prestigious Cobalt Award for innovative integration. I look forward to building on this solid foundation and scaling the company, which will create new opportunities in the industry.”

Rangan earned a master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Mumbai and a BS degree in engineering from Bangalore University in India. He is also certified in cybersecurity by Harvard Kennedy School and Carnegie Mellon.
