Transparency and simplicity about the credit industry, especially in a world of financial uncertainty, is exactly what Kenneth Lin’s goal was when he launched Credit Karma in 2007. Best known for pioneering free credit scores, the platform offers everything related to a person’s financial goals, from identity monitoring, credit cards, and loans — all for free. Now an Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) company, Credit Karma serves over 120 million people across the U.S., U.K., and Canada – including almost half of all U.S. millennials. In the next Leadership Lessons episode, Lin talks with series host Jason Nazar about how he's led the company from a team of three to 1,500 employees. Other topics include:

  • The road less traveled: Acquisition over IPO--why IPO isn't the only exit to consider

  • Learning lessons: 2008 recession and 2020 pandemic

  • Protecting jobs: Leading a company through economic uncertainty

  • Disrupting consumer finance: Building consumer-first tools to bridge the gap
