Dave Inc., a West Hollywood-based banking app, has named Chien-Liang Chou as its chief technology officer.
“I am grateful for this opportunity and the recognition of my peers and will continue to give my all to develop the best technology platform and tools in our industry that will benefit Dave and the members we serve,” Chou said in a statement. “Our mission is what drives my team, and we will continue to collaborate with all departments to ensure we have the best infrastructure in place that can support our growth while continuing to improve the member experience.”
Chou previously served as executive vice president of engineering at Dave, a position he held since 2020. In that role, he led the engineering, data, infrastructure, security and information technology teams, spearheading various data initiatives. He has more than 20 years of experience developing software and technology platforms.
“(Chou) has been one of our greatest assets, instrumental in the buildout not only of our technology platform, but in the products and services we have been able to offer our members,” Jason Wilk, co-founder and chief executive of Dave, said in a statement. “He continues to take on an increasingly important role and will play a big part in shaping our technology architecture going forward as we grow and scale. His dedication to Dave and the millions of members served has not gone unnoticed and I look forward to working with him and his team as we deliver the best banking and customer experience for our members.”
Chou will work closely with Dave’s leadership to develop and execute the long-term plan and vision for the company’s technology architecture, scaling its software and systems, and building out the company’s technology team.
