Speaker: John Mileham
John Mileham is VP of Architecture at Betterment. After a decade building industry-defining products like Berklee Online, John, a glutton for punishment, decided to switch to FinTech where he could build industry-defining products that, just for fun, must also protect people's life savings and most sensitive personal information, first at ImpulseSave, and now Betterment.
John is passionate about humane software, teaching, and unlocking teams' potential to move fast, safely. Fittingly, in his free time, he teaches people to drive fast, safely, at race tracks throughout the northeast as an instructor with the Audi Club.
