Todd Curtis

CEO at YNAB

Todd spent nearly two decades working in education which uniquely positioned him to join YNAB and establish an award-winning customer support team. He then went on to spearhead the product development side of YNAB before assuming his current role as CEO. Today, he spends his time obsessing over two things: Spreading the YNAB method far and wide, and nurturing a culture of excellence within the YNAB team.

Residing in New England with his wife and three children, Todd finds joy in his hobbies of running (a lot), savoring coffee, and tending to his garden.
