Today we’re excited to announce that Simon Williams, a respected banking executive turned fintech investor, has joined NerdWallet’s board of directors. In addition, Camelot Financial Capital Management LLC, where Simon serves as chairman and CEO, has invested $5 million in NerdWallet, bringing our Series A funding to $69 million.
Simon’s deep industry expertise will be incredibly valuable as we continue to change how consumers interact with financial institutions. His more than 30-year career spans the breadth of financial services, including executive roles at Citi and HSBC. An early believer in the promise of fintech, Simon founded Camelot in 2007 with a focus on investing in and advising the companies driving the next generation of banking. He has a great track record thus far: He is a director at Lending Club and was an investor in and former director at OnDeck.
Most important, Simon shares our consumer-first values. In a world where we’re fighting to turn personal finance in favor of the consumer, we’re proud to have Simon on our team!
