NerdWallet has scaled its business significantly in 2020 while continuing its nearly decade-long streak of profitable annual growth. This year, it expanded internationally by acquiring UK-based personal finance website Know Your Money and broadened its reach into the small business (SMB) category with its acquisition of New York-based SMB lending marketplace Fundera. NerdWallet also added to its Board of Directors with the appointments of Jennifer Ceran, CFO at Smartsheet, and Lynne Laube, CEO and co-founder of Cardlytics.
As the new CFO of NerdWallet, St. Clair will lead the company’s financial operations, bringing her experience in financial planning, investor relations and business acquisitions to help continue the company’s rapid growth and international expansion.
