Chime Promotes Three Executives to President, COO and Chief Growth Officer Following Nasdaq Listing

Chime, the San Francisco-based digital banking company, announced three executive promotions on 10 December 2025 in a move the company described as reflecting its continued expansion and growth, six months after its June 2025 listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Mark Troughton was elevated to President, Janelle Sallenave was appointed Chief Operating Officer, and Vineet Mehra was named Chief Growth Officer, according to a statement published on Chime's newsroom.

Chief Executive Officer Chris Britt, who has led Chime since its founding, was named Executive of the Year by the San Francisco Business Times in 2025 — an award announced the week before the promotions.

THE THREE ROLES

Chime said Troughton will continue to oversee its strategy, risk, partnerships and customer experience organisations.

Sallenave, previously Chime's Chief Experience Officer, succeeds Troughton as Chief Operating Officer and will oversee overall business operations as well as member experience. Chime said her remit also covers planning, data and analytics and the company's internal AI initiatives.

Mehra, previously Chief Marketing Officer, will lead the company's overall growth agenda as well as marketing.

BACKGROUND

The company built its business around fee-free current accounts and early direct-deposit access for its members.

The three promotions announced on 10 December are framed by Chime as a reflection of its continued expansion, innovation and growth.

Chime has not provided specific financial targets or disclosed updated membership or revenue figures alongside the executive announcements.
