Asheet Mehta Joins Unqork's Board of Directors
4 min read
Unqork, the leading AI-first enterprise development platform, has announced the appointment of Asheet Mehta to its Board of Directors as a Series B Director. Founder and CEO of ResFi.ai and a former McKinsey Senior Partner, Mehta joins the board as a three-time investor in Unqork — bringing more than 30 years of experience advising global institutions, scaling businesses, and helping CEOs and boards drive significant shareholder value creation.
A Career at the Intersection of Finance, Technology, and Strategy
At McKinsey & Company, Mehta advised global financial institutions across three decades on strategy, industry structure, and risk and regulatory management — specialising in turning technological, competitive, geopolitical, macroeconomic, and regulatory disruption into structured opportunities for growth. His advisory work spanned some of the world's largest and most complex financial organisations, giving him a rare depth of understanding of the governance, compliance, and operational challenges that define enterprise technology adoption in heavily regulated sectors.
In 2025, Mehta founded ResFi.ai — a company that applies AI and behavioural finance to give consumers a sustainable pathway to long-term financial health through high-quality, data-driven advice and fully automated banking services. This move from advisor to founder reflects a deliberate commitment to building in the AI era rather than simply observing it — and brings current, first-hand experience of scaling an AI-native business to his board role.
Beyond ResFi.ai, Mehta also serves on the boards and risk committees of Pagaya Technologies and Piramal Finance, and acts as an advisor to several fintech and AI companies including Avantos.ai and Bright Money — an active portfolio that reflects sustained engagement with the technologies reshaping financial services.
"We are thrilled to welcome Asheet. His expertise navigating the complexities of global financial institutions and his track record in driving large-scale digital transformation are unparalleled. He will be an invaluable influence as we aggressively expand our platform's AI capabilities and global footprint."
— Gary Hoberman, CEO & Founder, Unqork
Why He Invested — and Why He Is Joining the Board Now
Mehta's appointment is particularly notable because it represents the conversion of long-standing investor conviction into active board-level engagement. As a three-time investor across multiple funding rounds, he has had a clear view of the platform's evolution over time — making his decision to join the board at this stage a deliberate signal about the company's trajectory at a moment of intensifying AI adoption across enterprise markets.
His framing of the opportunity is anchored in a tension he has observed directly across decades of enterprise technology advisory: the conflict between the demand for speed in AI adoption and the imperative to minimise governance risk and technical debt. It is a tension that he argues the platform's AI-first, no-code architecture is uniquely positioned to resolve.
"Enterprises are at a critical inflection point in AI adoption, with the demand for speed in conflict with the imperative to minimize risk and technical debt. Unqork's AI-first platform is the first solution I've seen that enables enterprises to launch applications rapidly without compromising governance and security. As a three-time investor in Unqork, I am excited to work alongside Gary and the leadership team as Unqork continues to redefine how enterprises build and scale mission-critical software."

What Mehta Brings to Unqork's Next Phase
Unqork operates in a market defined by the intersection of enterprise software development, AI adoption, and the governance complexity that highly regulated industries — particularly financial services, insurance, government, and healthcare — face when deploying mission-critical applications. Mehta's background sits directly at the centre of these dynamics.
His decades of advisory experience with global financial institutions give him a granular understanding of what regulators, boards, and risk committees require from enterprise technology platforms. His current role founding and scaling an AI-first fintech company gives him operational fluency with the execution challenges of bringing AI products to market. And his existing advisory network across fintech, AI, and venture-backed growth companies provides a channel through which he can accelerate the company's commercial relationships in the markets it considers most strategic.
Together, these dimensions make his appointment a meaningful addition to the board at a moment when the company is, in its own CEO's words, aggressively expanding AI capabilities and global footprint — a phase that demands both the strategic navigation skills of an experienced McKinsey senior partner and the founder's urgency of someone who has recently built an AI company from a blank page.
