Michael Azevedo

Michael Azevedo is a seasoned sales leader and financial services veteran who has spent his career at the intersection of banking, technology, and human connection. As VP, Head of Sales at interface.ai — the first agentic AI platform purpose-built for community banks and credit unions — Michael brings a rare combination of frontline banking experience and fintech innovation to one of the most transformative moments in financial services history.

Michael's path to fintech was forged over more than a decade inside the institutions he now serves. From his early days as a Sr. Relationship Banker at Union Bank to leadership roles spanning retail banking, small business, and third-party lending, Michael lived the day-to-day realities of serving bank and credit union consumers firsthand. He spent years pushing for better — better products, better experiences, better outcomes for everyday consumers — often running into the structural and technological limits that legacy banking environments impose. That firsthand frustration became his fuel.

His transition into fintech brought that energy to SavvyMoney, where Michael didn't just join the company — he helped build it. Starting on the partner solutions side, he architected the expansion model that brought SavvyMoney's consumer engagement products to financial institutions across the country, designing the go-to-market strategy that turned partnerships into a scalable growth engine. Over four years, he rose through the organization, ultimately taking the helm as VP of Sales and leading the team that brought those products to scale.

Now at interface.ai, Michael leads a sales organization on a mission to help community banks and credit unions compete, evolve, and truly serve their consumers in the modern age. He understands the weight these institutions carry — the trust placed in them by the communities they serve — and he takes seriously the responsibility of guiding them toward a future powered by intelligent, human-centered AI.
In a world where artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every industry, Michael sees an extraordinary opportunity for community financial institutions to lead — not lag. His goal is simple: help the banks and credit unions that care most about their consumers get the tools they deserve, so that every consumer interaction becomes faster, smarter, and more meaningful.

Strategy-driven, people-focused, and occasionally funny — Michael leads with both head and heart, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
