Intuit today announced that Tyler Cozzens, currently serving as Deputy General Counsel, has been named General Counsel, effective at the end of the current fiscal year. He will succeed Kerry McLean, who is retiring at the end of July after more than 20 years of dedicated service to the company.
Kerry joined Intuit in 2006, when the company’s legal and governance needs looked fundamentally different than they do today. Over two decades, including seven and a half years as General Counsel, she helped guide Intuit through some of the most consequential moments in its history.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate Kerry and her amazing contributions to Intuit over the past 20 years,” said Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi. “She has been one of my most trusted partners. When the decisions were difficult and the stakes were high, I could count on her thoughtful counsel, balanced perspective, and unwavering commitment to do what was right for Intuit.”
Tyler Cozzens joined Intuit more than 20 years ago, and has spent his career building deep expertise across nearly every part of the business. He has served as chief counsel for TurboTax and ProConnect, led legal for Intuit’s global payments and banking businesses, and most recently served as Deputy General Counsel, overseeing mergers and acquisitions, securities, corporate governance, and intellectual property across the enterprise.
“Tyler brings exactly the business acumen, judgment, leadership, and culture that Intuit needs for the road ahead. He will be an amazing General Counsel for Intuit.” Goodarzi said.
This transition reflects both the strength of the leadership bench Kerry helped build over two decades and Intuit’s commitment to developing leaders from within. It is also a testament to Kerry’s lasting impact on the company and the strong foundation Tyler will build upon in the years ahead.
