As the Senior Director of Product Management at Wealthfront, Dan Slate oversees teams that are building products to create a financial system that favors people over institutions.

Wealthfront's CEO, Andy Rachleff, is famous for saying you can't iterate your way to product market fit, "Either the dog eats the food or they don't."

This rings true in everything Dan does throughout his product development process. From delighting early adopters to utilizing data from his consumer insights team, Dan aims to build a loyal, trusting consumer base.
