About Anthony: Anthony Noto is the CEO of SoFi and serves on its board of directors. Since joining SoFi in February 2018, Anthony has led the company to double down on its mission to help people reach financial independence and realize their ambitions, by developing and executing a strategy to make SoFi a relationship financial services company that provides solutions for all of the major financial decisions in a member’s life and all of the days in between. The company transitioned to a fully mobile-first full suite of products, launching several non-lending products including SoFi Invest, SoFi Checking and Savings, SoFi Credit Card, SoFi Relay, as well as relaunching Home Loans and introducing college loans. The company has increased its member base from 430,000 members in January 2018 to over 5 million members getting their money right and 8+ million products as of April 2023. Additionally, SoFi has built a financial technology platform business (often called the AWS of Fintech) where it serves over 130 million end-accounts via the Galileo payment processing platform and Technisys Core banking products. Under his leadership, SoFi became a public company in June of 2021 at 3x the value from just three years prior. Before joining SoFi, Anthony served as Chief Operating Officer of Twitter since November 2016, and as its Chief Financial Officer when joining the company in July 2014. Prior to Twitter, Anthony worked at Goldman Sachs from 1999-2007 as a Partner in Equity Research and 2010-2014 as Partner and Co-Head of Global TMT Investment Banking. Before returning to Goldman, Anthony was Chief Financial Officer of the National Football League from 2008-2010.
