Credit Karma co-founder Nichole Mustard reportedly departs firm
US consumer fintech Credit Karma has reportedly lost its third executive this year with the departure of its co-founder and chief revenue officer, Nichole Mustard.
Mustard joined Ryan Graciano and Kenneth Lin to launch the credit reporting, monitoring and comparison platform in 2007. All three founders were retained when the fintech was acquired by Intuit in 2020 in a $7.1 billion deal.
A Credit Karma spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that Mustard “decided to leave the company, her contributions have been significant and we wish her well”. The company has not yet responded to FinTech Futures‘ request for comment.
The news follows the departure of chief people officer Colleen McCreary, who is understood to have left her position in January, and chief marketing officer Greg Lull, who announced in September that he would step down from the role once the company had sourced a replacement. Lull had also been with the fintech since its inception.
Last month, Intuit revealed that its personal financial management business Mint, which it acquired in 2009 for $170 million, will cease to operate as a standalone company from 1 January 2024, and will instead be folded into its Credit Karma business.
