As Credit Karma’s Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Susannah Stroud Wright manages all legal matters at the company, including corporate, regulatory, consumer protection, compliance and government affairs. She has built a robust legal and compliance team that fosters rapid and disruptive innovation in a highly regulated industry, and in a way that maintains the trust Credit Karma has built with its members, partners and regulators.

Wright joined Credit Karma in 2017 as the San Francisco-based firm’s first chief lawyer. She arrived at the company after having served as an associate GC for Tesla and as a deputy GC for SolarCity. Before she went in-house, Wright had two stints in Big Law—first at Alston & Bird and later with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher—separated by three years of service as a prosecutor for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Georgia.
