Meet Amber Robinson: KlariVis’ New VP of Sales & Strategic Alliances

Hi, I’m Amber Robinson. After nearly four years at KlariVis, many of you may already know me as a sales executive (and if we haven’t met yet – hi! I’m so happy you’re here).

With that in mind, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be embarking on a new chapter in my career as KlariVis’ new Vice President of Sales and Strategic Alliances. This role promises to bring exciting challenges and opportunities, and I’m ready to tackle them alongside the incredible team at KlariVis. Together, we’re committed to driving meaningful change for our clients and helping financial institutions unlock the full potential of their data.

But before we dive into what’s ahead, let me share a bit about the journey that brought me here.

Rooted in Relationships

I grew up in southern New Hampshire, surrounded by small-town charm and tight-knit communities. I studied communications at Endicott College, which is where I fell in love with broadcasting and journalism. I had the opportunity to intern with three TV stations across different departments, my last being in marketing, which is where I realized the importance of relationships and storytelling.

I didn’t have a background in fintech or finance, but I kept asking questions and focusing on the things that mattered most to me: relationships. I was also ready to take on something new, challenging, and dynamic. It was through meeting different people, building and nurturing connections, and saying yes to new opportunities that I ended up working at Engageware (formerly SilverCloud) and officially entering the technology space.

After drinking the start-up Kool Aid juice, well…I couldn’t get enough.

Data is probably the most valuable asset banks have, and yet, there was no good way for them to effectively make use of it. That’s when I knew I wanted to help solve one of the most important business challenges plaguing financial institutions. A lack of visibility and actionable insights into their data.

Why KlariVis? (Year after year, day after day.)

When I first joined KlariVis in 2021, I was immediately drawn to our mission: helping financial institutions harness the power of their data.

Here was a solution to a true business problem in the industry that had been created by bankers. That concept was refreshing to me. Not only did KlariVis pack the punch of a modern tech stack, but they had the domain expertise to back it up.

I had spent years of my career listening to bankers and seeing firsthand how challenging data was to overcome for so many institutions. Asset size didn’t matter, they all suffered from the same problem, and it blew my mind that most couldn’t do anything about it. Or worse, they didn’t know there could be a better way.

Enter KlariVis.

While KlariVis is positioned as the market leader in delivering the most incredible and easy-to-understand insights for any bank, our secret sauce doesn’t lie in the technology.

For me, the most incredible thing about KlariVis is that we’re more than our mission. We’re a team, a true team that works together and has each other’s backs. From my first day, Kim Snyder, our CEO, made it clear that we were going to accomplish big, audacious goals (and succeed at them), all while protecting and prioritizing a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive environment. I have, and forever continue to learn from her, and from the strength of our team, and that is something I am grateful for.

What makes you excited about the future?

We have the incredible opportunity to make a real impact — not just for our company, but for the financial institutions we serve. We’re at a pivotal moment in our growth, and I’m inspired by the prospect of expanding into new verticals. Our industry is ripe for innovation, and I’m proud to be part of a team that’s helping institutions unlock their full potential by providing them with the tools and insights they need to stay competitive and grow.

One of the most thrilling aspects of our journey is how we’re leveraging cutting-edge technologies to transform how data is used, which allows us to move beyond basic visibility and provide game-changing insights and visuals for our clients. The idea of empowering organizations to make smarter, faster decisions — and seeing the ripple effect on their growth and success — is incredibly fulfilling.

I’m also deeply motivated by the team we’re building. Being surrounded by passionate, innovative people who share a common vision for what’s possible is both humbling and energizing. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but I’m even more excited about the road ahead and the chance to drive meaningful change in an industry that’s evolving rapidly. Together, I believe we’re not just keeping pace with the future — we’re helping to define it. When our employees and clients are successful, that’s when we know we’re truly making an impact.

What are you hoping to accomplish in your new role?

I’m committed to working closely with our leadership team to ensure we remain agile, responsive to industry trends and remain customer-centric as we scale. My ultimate goal is to position our consultative team as a key driver of growth and to help this company remain an undisputed leader in our space.

Advice for Taking the Leap

To anyone considering a career pivot or thinking about entering fintech, my advice is simple: Take the leap. Trust the process, embrace the unknown, and lean into opportunities that make you uncomfortable. Growth often happens in the moments that challenge you the most.
