Greenwood snags former Chase executive as engineering VP

Dylani, named one of the The Top 25 Women Leaders In Financial Technology Of Europe For 2021 by the Financial Technology Report, has more than a decade of deep fintech and banking expertise. Her experience includes over 11 years at FIS, the largest financial processing and payments company in the world, where she served as the Director of Engineering. Most recently, Dylani was a part of JPMorgan Chase & Co. leading initiatives in the SMB segment. Dylani joins Greenwood as part of her personal motivation and a shared vision with Greenwood, to affect change and impact persons and businesses who are often overlooked.

"We are thrilled to welcome Dylani to Greenwood, as her technical expertise and motivation to make an impact perfectly aligns with the Greenwood team," said Ryan Glover, Greenwood Co-Founder and Chairman. “We look forward to having Dylani lead development of Greenwood’s suite of products and services, ensuring our customers will have an exceptional banking platform."

At Greenwood, Dylani will develop and scale the banking platform, including further developing the platform’s security, growth, and product pipeline. She will play an instrumental role in bringing Greenwood’s online banking services to market and lead in the iterative development of those services as the company’s user base continues to expand.

“I am delighted to join Greenwood, where I am excited to take my experience of creating high impact at legacy companies to the Greenwood team,” said Dylani Herath. “Part of what drew me to Greenwood was the company’s mission of bettering people and contributing to culture, and I look forward to helping Greenwood achieve this mission.”

Greenwood, which announced its digital banking platform for Black and Latino people and business owners in October 2020, has since secured a waitlist of more than 550,000 community members.
