Nova Credit, the credit infrastructure and analytics company
that enables businesses to grow responsibly with alternative credit
data, has today announced the appointment of Nichole Mustard,
co-founder and former Chief Revenue Officer of Credit Karma, to its
board of directors.
Having co-founded Credit Karma, one of the leading credit
insights providers, Nichole is an industry titan, whose work in
scaling the company gave it a platform to provide millions of
Americans with a deeper understanding of their credit through a
seamless product. Nichole’s invaluable experience in enabling
credit access for millions of Americans in the digital age has
given her a front-row seat to the technological and data
advancements that have drastically impacted consumer lending
decisions.
“We are undergoing a paradigm shift in credit underwriting, with
new data, regulations, and technology fostering unprecedented
opportunity. Capitalizing on these opportunities demands a fresh
perspective with demonstrated expertise in consumer credit,” said
Misha Esipov, Nova Credit Co-Founder and CEO. “I could not be more
excited to welcome Nichole to our board. Bringing her experience in
co-founding and scaling Credit Karma into the iconic company that
it is today is a dream come true. Nichole’s passion and deep
expertise throughout the credit ecosystem will not only be
instrumental in scaling our business, but also in accelerating our
mission of creating a more fair and inclusive financial system for
the world.”
Nichole will help guide the company’s strategy to enable
responsible business growth and insights for its clients by
harnessing the power of consumer credit data, helping expand credit
access in the process. This will be especially true as Nova Credit
looks to advance the impactful deployment and applications of cash
flow and income data across the underwriting journey.
“As open banking gains traction from regulators and from lenders
looking to expand their underwriting analytics beyond the
traditional credit system, Nova Credit is pioneering technological
solutions that leverage data to tell a richer story for millions of
misunderstood credit applicants,” said Nichole. “The company and
its team are poised to create a more navigable credit system for
both consumers and the businesses that serve them, and I couldn’t
be more excited to contribute to its mission.”
Nichole co-founded Credit Karma in 2007 and served as Chief
Revenue Officer. Previously, she was a financial services sales
director at Compete, which was acquired by TNS Media. She holds a
Doctorate degree from Miami University.
