Harris’ superlative venture successes include: CEO of Intuit, founding CEO of Personal Capital, and founding entrepreneur of seven other financial technology and cybersecurity startups. He has helped build multiple “unicorns” and has served on the boards of RSA Security, Yodlee, GoDaddy, Success Factors, and Care.com.
“We’re bringing the fire of Silicon Valley – innovation, ambition and mission – to the new Silicon Beach,” said Harris. “We’ll employ fifty people by yearend and two hundred by the following year. Recruiting an exceptional team is the fuel for hyper-growth.”
Harris has in place a very accomplished senior team:
- Raghu Battula: 20+ years of technology leadership at renowned San Francisco tech companies, former senior engineering leader at Sony PlayStation, plus leadership roles at Ripple, Apple, PayPal and Intuit,
- Brenda Rideout:, 30+ years of global banking, on the first team at ING Direct, first female CEO of a Canadian Bank, Tangerine, and advisory boards including Oracle, HP, and Dell,

- Jimmie Fulton: 20+ years of software development experience, software architect at Sony PlayStation and built global application architectures at Ripple, Boku, and Gensler.
With so much accomplished in Silicon Valley over the past thirty-plus years, Harris still has the entrepreneurial drive for another startup—but this time in the growing Miami tech ecosystem that welcomes him and his talented tech team with open arms.
