May 1, 2023 – FORT WORTH, Texas – VALID Systems, a leading account-based decisioning and machine learning model provider that works with banks to improve the customer experience and reduce risk, has added two innovative leaders to help expand its product suite. Donna Cichani, a former executive with JPMorgan Chase & Co., has joined the company as Senior Vice President of Product Management, while Gaurav Jain, a former Senior product Manager at Capital One, has joined as Senior Vice President of Credit and Product Innovation.
Cichani will be responsible for overseeing the enhancement of VALID’s solutions, including the company’s revolutionary InteliFUNDS offering, which enables instant, risk-free check deposits. She began her career at KPMG before spending three years at Chase as vice president and lead product manager.

Jain began his career as a risk analyst intern for Deutsche Bank. Prior to joining VALID, he spent 11 years at Capital One, most recently as head of product marketing and analytics and senior product manager.
“I’m excited to work with such an incredible team whose mission is to help the nation’s banks deliver a better customer experience while managing risk,” Jain said.
