Capitalize, the first independent platform to transfer retirement assets, today announced that Jason Simon has joined the company’s leadership team to further enhance Capitalize’s rollover platform and extend the company’s offering to consumers.

Jason brings significant product and platform management expertise to the company. In his new role he will be responsible for all aspects of Product at Capitalize. This includes the company’s rapidly growing rollover platform and ambitious roadmap for adding new features that help consumers better save and invest for retirement.

Prior to joining Capitalize, Jason served as Vice President of Product at LendingTree, where he built and oversaw the rapid growth of the My LendingTree platform - a membership-based suite of tools to help users optimize all aspects of their financial lives. My LendingTree grew its user base to nearly 19 million members, becoming a critical growth driver for the company and realizing measurable improvements to the financial lives of millions of people. He was also responsible for LendingTree’s embedded finance platform, Powered by LendingTree, as an extension into enterprise distribution channels.
