Bio:
Edward Shen is the CTO and head of Fintech Product of GoodFinance Securities, Inc. His goal is to use technology to democratize high quality wealth management services, so that everyone can have an improved relationship with money, as well as tangibly feel the joy brought by the power of finance.
Early in his career, Shen founded his first company in 2010, and produced a mobile application, WhatsTheNumber, which reached approximately two million downloads in Taiwan. In early 2015, he successfully sold this company to Yulore Technology, a big data company in Beijing, and was appointed to its COO. During the next four years, their user base grew to over one billion, serving 4.5 billion API requests per day. In addition, Shen led the team to develop three independent business units from scratch, and grew the company’s revenue 7-fold. He has also been serving as a volunteer in Epoch Foundation for over a decade, hoping that he could contribute to Taiwan’s economic environment both as a business leader and a mentor to the younger generation. Shen received a bachelor’s degree in EE and a master’s degree in CS, both from National Taiwan University, and a master’s degree in Media, Arts and Science from the MIT Media Lab. He is an Aspen Fellow, and a father of two wonderful children.
