Austin Carroll is the Founder and CEO of Warrant, an AI-powered marketing compliance platform and DAM that embeds real-time regulatory checks into content creation and distribution workflows, helping companies in highly regulated industries scale safely across channels. She works at the intersection of marketing, compliance, and emerging technology, with a focus on how modern growth strategies are reshaping risk.

Before founding Warrant, Austin held product marketing and product roles across leading financial institutions. She was Head of Financial Product Marketing at Brex, where she helped scale the business from $3B to $7B in assets under management. Prior to that, she was the first Product Marketing Manager at Mercury, building the product marketing function from the ground up during a period of rapid growth. She also worked as a Product Manager at Capital One, gaining early exposure to how large, regulated financial institutions approach product, risk, and compliance.

Austin is also the author of The AI Native Marketer, where she explores how AI is transforming how marketing teams operate, make decisions, and scale. Her work focuses on the widening gap between how quickly marketing is evolving and how slowly regulatory frameworks are adapting.

Today, she works closely with fintech and insurtech companies, as well as other organizations operating in highly regulated sectors, navigating that gap in real time. She is known for translating complex regulatory expectations into practical, executable systems that marketing teams can actually use, bridging the divide between legal requirements and modern go-to-market execution.

Her perspective is grounded in operator experience across both high-growth startups and established financial institutions, making her a trusted voice on the future of marketing, compliance, and AI.
