Humans Behind the Screens

We work across 39 states and counting, but we’re united in our common purpose. Meet a few members of our team:

  • John Rosenfeld

    Leading the Change
    John Rosenfeld headshot
    John, our President, used to jump out of airplanes as a Green Beret — good preparation for the thrill of leading a banking revolution. He’s run digital businesses at GE, Bank of America, TD Bank and Citizens Bank. His traditional banking pet peeve? Penalty fees for small mistakes. You won’t find those at Jenius Bank!

  • Tracey Dunlap

    Designing Great Experiences

    Tracey rose to the top in fintech by solving customers’ problems. She left Zenmonics as Chief Experience Officer to design a world-class experience at Jenius Bank. She walks many miles in customers’ shoes, so good thing she loves customers ... and shoes. Her faves? Fancy heels for life in the city and boots for snowmobiling!

  • Dan Struble

    Creating Money Confidence

    Dan is our financial wellness guru who came to us via ING-Direct, Capital One, and Simple. Now he’s nerding out building solutions that help customers improve financial confidence. When not running ultramarathons, he’s our in-house fitness guru, posting daily workout breaks for the Jenius Bank team!

  • May Ya Poon

    Keeping Operations in Check

    May Ya embraces adventure. She ditched the traditional bank scene after years at Wachovia, Capital One and Wells Fargo to join Jenius Bank. She leads the Operational Risk team as they dig into our processes and ensure we’ve planned for the unknown. A native of Singapore, she loves traveling and trying new foods and experiences!

  • Gregg Sansone

    Using Data for Good

    Gregg cares about numbers. But he cares a lot more about people. That’s why his passion is using data to make us all smarter about our money. He came to Jenius Bank from Ally after 15+ years at USAA. He’s a great fit for our Jenius Bank approach — he doesn’t own a single gray suit because that’s just not his style.
