Director, Corporate Development

Intuit's Corporate Strategy & Development (CS&D) team works closely with our most senior leaders to define the growth strategy for the company and lead both organic and inorganic initiatives to achieve Intuit’s goals. The team works on highly visible, direction-setting strategy and acquisition initiatives at the corporate level and across all of Intuit’s businesses. Our projects often mirror the work at top strategy consulting firms and investment banks, but with an emphasis on driving impact in close collaboration with Intuit’s most senior business and product leaders.

As part of CS&D, the Corporate Development team plays a critical role in accelerating the company’s strategic goals by driving the M&A strategy, execution, and acceleration/integration through bringing in world-class companies, technology, and talent into the company via acquisition. The team has led some of the most transformational acquisitions in fintech and SaaS in recent years including the acquisition of Mailchimp for $12B and the acquisition of Credit Karma for $8B.

The team is also responsible for maintaining relationships with VCs, startups, and bankers to inform the strategy of the company.

Intuit is the global financial technology platform that powers prosperity for the people and communities we serve, with approximately 100 million customers worldwide using products such as Turbo Tax, Credit Karma, Quick Books, and Mailchimp. The company is focused on five key 'big bets' to achieve its mission: speed to benefit, connecting people to experts, unlocking smart money decisions, driving SMB growth, and disrupting the small business mid-market.

Intuit leverages the power of data, AI, and generative AI across its platform to deliver these benefits, helping customers put more money in their pockets, save time, and gain confidence in their financial decisions.
