About Adriana Eiriz

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of growth and impact—helping organizations scale while expanding access and opportunity for the communities they serve. Today, as SVP of Partnerships & Strategic Growth at Accion Opportunity Fund, I lead efforts that bring together partnerships, marketing, and strategy to help small businesses access the capital and support they need to grow. What motivates me most is not just building growth engines, but knowing that behind every loan is an entrepreneur creating jobs, stability, and possibility in their community. I’m especially passionate about the power of partnerships to unlock that impact at scale. Over the years, I’ve built and led national ecosystems across fintechs, financial institutions, and enterprise organizations—including collaborations with companies like American Express, Intuit, LendingClub, and PayPal. At their best, these partnerships are not just strategic acquisition channels—they’re shared commitments to solve real problems in smarter, more inclusive ways. Equally important to me is how the work gets done. I thrive in highly collaborative, cross-functional environments where strategy turns into execution through strong alignment, trust, and shared ownership. Over the past year, I’ve been deeply involved in advancing enterprise-wide priorities—working across teams to move complex initiatives forward and ensuring they deliver meaningful results. I also care deeply about mentoring and developing others. Some of the most rewarding parts of my work have come from helping teams and individuals grow—creating space for new ideas, supporting career development, and building cultures where people can do their best work. Across my career, I’ve focused on: • Driving sustainable revenue growth and market expansion through multi-channel strategies • Building strategic partnerships and integrations that open new pathways to customers • Designing go-to-market strategies that improve conversion and long-term engagement • Using data and insights to inform decisions and optimize performance • Leading cross-functional teams to deliver on shared goals Having worked across both large financial institutions and high-growth, mission-driven environments, I bring a practical, execution-focused approach to scaling growth—grounded in both performance and purpose.
