Mona Champaneri joins Kin + Carta as head of product and experience
Mona Champaneri has joined Kin + Carta, a digital transformation consulting firm, as managing director for experience and product.
Based in Chicago, Champaneri will be tasked with expanding a service line that helps clients create adaptive and connected customer and employee experiences – leveraging emerging technology, data, and connected commerce.
Champaneri brings more than 15 years of experience in digital strategy, marketing, and sales across multiple industries, including running in-house product teams and creating products for clients as a consultant.
She previously spent more than eight years at RightPoint, a UX consultancy owned by Genpact, where she was head of the global engagement leadership practice and chief of staff to the CEO.
Earlier in her career, Champaneri held digital program delivery leadership roles at ad firms Ogilvy and Leo Burnett. She began her career at JPMorgan Chase as a lead application developer before moving on to investment research firm Morningstar, where she was a senior project manager and custom product solutions team lead.
Champaneri has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from DePaul University.
“Mona understands not only every aspect of digital technology, but how and where people interact with it. This is a really important hire as she will help our team deliver strategic guidance to our clients and shape their experiences for the better,” Kelly Manthey, global CEO at Kin + Carta, said.
Manthey was recently named head of the company, which has more than 2,000 strategists, engineers, and creatives across offices in the UK, US, Argentina, and the Balkans.
“I was looking for a business whose values matched my own and Kin + Carta fits the bill perfectly by putting people and planet first every time,” Champaneri said. “The Experience and Product team works strategically with clients to help them solve problems and create frictionless customer experiences, understanding that people sit at the heart of the digital journey.”
