VP of Product

Intuit

Quicken Brokerage was a unique start-up within Intuit's Quicken division whose strategic goal was to diversify and grow the division's revenue.  I was the second person on the team and the head of product management, responsible for determining our product offering and working with engineering to nail our aggressive development timeline.  Under my leadership, the Quicken Brokerage team launched a world-class online brokerage website from scratch in 8 months.  Designed to be the best brokerage for Quicken users, Quicken Brokerage achieved feature parity with E*Trade, Schwab, and Fidelity while providing a great user interface and unique tax-smart investing features, receiving accolades from the financial services press and analysts.  The most notable feature was the real-time tax advice proactively provided on the trading screen before the user placed a trade (on which I have a patent pending).
