Craig Schedler, who recently left his post as the head of financial services group Northwestern Mutual’s corporate venture capital unit, has joined enterprise financial software provider Intuit to lead its CVC unit.

Schedler led Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures for nine years, having launched the unit in 2016 as director of corporate strategy. His role expanded to vice-president of venture and corporate development for the firm in 2024 and he made GCV’s Powerlist earlier this year.

Intuit Ventures was formed in 2021 and was led by Adam Coccari before he left late last year to lead enterprise software CVC unit Hubspot Ventures. It invests in financial and e-commerce technologies as well as developers of apps for small and medium-sized businesses.

“I look forward to advancing Intuit’s vision of powering prosperity around the world by investing in leading startups focus on the consumer and small business markets,” Schedler said in a LinkedIn post announcing the move yesterday.

“If you’re building a fintech company focused on the consumer or SMB markets, let’s talk. The Intuit platform provides an amazing opportunity for startups to partner and build the future of financial services.”
