As our CEO, David said, “Nick has an outstanding track record building products that help people achieve financial success. He is passionate about helping Earnest’s customers achieve that same success.” Welcome, Nick! We’re thrilled you’re here. 💚
I’m incredibly excited to announced that I've joined the team at Earnest as Chief Product Officer! There is a problem today in the US with student debt, and it's impacting peoples' lives - over 70% of student borrowers say they’ve delayed at least one significant life event because of student debt, and there’s also growing uncertainty about career security with tech advancements like AI. Not only does this impact individuals, but there is an economic and societal risk if we don't solve this. I believe education will continue to be a part of the solution, and I believe that not only does it need to be accessible to everyone, but it needs to be an investment that pays off for them. This is the problem that we're working on at Earnest - we help people save money on their existing student debt, find scholarships that reduce the cost of education, and help them make the right decision for new educational investments. There is much more to come, and I'm so excited to be a part of this team! https://lnkd.in/gedX3RfY
