Executive Overview

It’s a great honor to serve as Intuit Chief Technology Officer, where I lead the development of innovative products and services to help our customers prosper. I oversee Intuit's technology strategy and lead all of Intuit's product development, data science, information technology, and information security teams. Over the last four decades, Intuit has evolved from Windows to web, mobile, cloud, and now artificial intelligence. I joined the company back in October 1999 as a software engineer. My first role had me working on a very early version of QuickBooks Online. The idea was to revolutionize how small businesses could go beyond the desktop and manage their finances on the internet. That same innovative mindset shows up today in our AI-driven expert platform and products, including TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp. I'm passionate about creating an environment where our technologists can thrive and do the best work of their lives, all in service to powering prosperity for millions of consumers and small businesses worldwide.
