Data aggregation and analytics company Envestnet | Yodlee made a strategic hire to its Developer Experience team this week, recruiting Sebastien Taveau (pictured), former chief developer evangelist for Mastercard, as its vice president of Developer Experience.

Taveau is charged with overseeing the new developer experience, positioning it as a developer-first platform, and strengthening ties with the fintech developer community. And Taveau is well-suited for the job; he brings more than 20 years of experience working in POS, mobile payment, mobile security, mobile identity, and consumer solutions.

Among his prior roles are chief technologist at Zelle/Early Warning Services, chief developer evangelist for Mastercard, CTO for Validity, and principal/astronomer at PayPal.

“Sebastien’s blend of skills, experience and passion for the job are invaluable in our continued commitment to delivering upon our developer first vision and driving industry innovation. His role is also vital in nurturing our important relationship with the fintech community, enabling them to better serve their customers,” said Brandon Rembe, SVP of products at Envestnet | Yodlee.

Hiring Taveau is part of a broader effort Envestnet | Yodlee has put forth into crafting the developer experience. Last month, the company unveiled a new developer experience that delivers enhanced data that spans 18,000 global sources, as well as updated tools that aim to speed up the developer experience. The new tools will be available to developers by the end of 2018.
