Former Wealthfront CEO and President Adam Nash, who served as the fintech company’s COO in 2012, was promoted to CEO from 2014 to 2016, and was named an Acorns boardmember in 2017, is joining Dropbox as a Vice President of Product, the company announced.

Nash most recently worked with portfolio companies on strategy and business development at Greylock, where he was an entrepreneur-in-residence. Nash will be overseeing a variety of Dropbox products, reported TechCrunch, as the recently public company grows its enterprise offerings.

The move will be a departure from recent roles. “Over my career, I’ve had the good fortune to work at three companies that grew to reach over 100 million users,” Nash wrote on his blog. “After spending the past six years focused on building new companies, I’m excited about jumping back into the challenges of designing and shipping features for the more than 500 million people who use Dropbox.”
