I am so incredibly pleased to announce that I am back in the CEO seat at Stash alongside Ed Robinson as Co-CEO. Together, Ed and I are committed to making saving and investing simpler and more accessible. Stash has already helped our millions of customers save and invest nearly $4 billion—a testament to the impact of the business on our customers. Now, we're excited to modernize our approach to how Stash operates, driven by our mission to empower everyday Americans to take control of their finances. Over the past year: -I had the chance to dive deep into engineering, working on building our new AI Money Coach platform (a lot more on this to come) and launching StashWorks with a small group of incredible people.  -This hands-on experience gave me fresh insights into building innovative, customer-first products, and using new technologies to rethink how we work, how we deliver guidance, and bring experiences to life to customers. I also learned a heck of a lot about myself. -It reminded me how much I love building, working on a scrappy team to go from 0 to 1, and the massive blue ocean opportunities ahead for Stash. To our incredible employees, investors, partners, and especially our customers: thank you for your trust and support. The journey ahead will be fun and impactful. I also want to shout out our past employees for all their hard work getting Stash to this point. We have a lot of news to come and a lot to do, but for today…. hello world.

Announcing A New Chapter at Stash I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve returned to Stash as Co-CEO alongside Brandon Krieg, and we are more energized than ever to reignite the bold, fast-moving culture that defined Stash in its early days. 💭 When we first started Stash, it was with one simple, yet powerful idea: to help everyday Americans take control of their financial futures. We saw a broken system where too many people felt left out of investing and saving. We knew we could do better—empowering millions to build wealth, no matter their starting point. 💲Our mission remains clear because the work isn’t finished. Still, over 80% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and more than 56% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency expense. 🤝 Stash isn’t just a product; it’s a promise. A promise to make saving and investing accessible and simple. To give people tools they never had before, and to empower them with financial confidence. 🌍 And it’s working. So far, we’ve helped our customers save and invest nearly $4 billion—a testament to the impact we’re making, but also a reminder of the possibilities still ahead. For too long, the financial system has been built to benefit a few—our mission is to change that, to open doors for everyone. A big thank you to the Stashers past and present who helped get us to this point. They are an exceptional group whom I am proud to know and will always support. Looking ahead – we’re just getting started. I’m excited to share more shortly #MissionDriven #FinancialInclusion #Empowerment #Stash #FinTech #Leadership
