He was previously GM of the TurboTax Group from May 2016. Before that, he was GM of the Small Business Group from May 2014 to May 2016. He and Goodarzi switched roles in May 2016, swapping leadership of the two groups that month. Both men had rotated through leadership roles over the last few years and seemed to be the candidates for to take over Smith’s job.

Wernikoff joined Intuit in 2003 as VP of product management, electronic payments. Before that, he spent four years as director of product manager for Charles Schwab.
