Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Shah is a fintech and consumer marketplace executive and advisor based in San Francisco with a 25+ year track record of leading technology, operations, and strategy across startups and large financial services firms. He served as CEO of Edelman Financial Engines and Personal Capital, scaling product, data, and engineering organizations while sitting on boards and advising firms like Ellie Mae and One. His background blends CIO/CTO experience with operating CEO roles, giving him rare fluency in scaling engineering teams, data-driven product development, and regulatory-sensitive financial systems.
