“During such a transformational time for Intuit QuickBooks, Faith brings a wealth of expertise that will help further drive our business forward and deliver excellence for the customers and communities we serve.”

Joining as an independent strategic adviser, Charles Vivian will work alongside ex-McKinsey and PepsiCo Sophia Hughes and Boxwood co-founder Adil Khan.
