Archana Agnihotri is the Director of Product Strategy and Design at MentisSoft. She has spent her career in product roles across high-growth technology companies and holds an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, but her real expertise lies in something that doesn't show up on a product roadmap: the years she has spent talking with independent schools, understanding how they operate, and using those insights to close the gap between what the software promises and what schools actually need. This hands-on insight fueled her leadership in launching FINACS, a cloud accounting powerhouse, and FundThrive, a donor management platform built for schools, blending strategy, UX, and execution to transform complex finances into simple, effective workflows.
