Strle joins Discover from Wells Fargo, where he served as EVP & Group CIO of its payments, virtual solutions, innovation and community banking business units, and more recently oversaw enterprise functions. During his tenure, he led the development and installation of a next generation digital banking platform and expanded the agile development practice to improve technology productivity and impact.

Strle succeeds Amir Arooni, who joined Discover in 2020 and leaves a lasting impact through his Project Runway initiative, which transformed Discover’s approach to technology and the way of working. Arooni led his team to implement programs like the Discover Technology Academy, which allow Discover technologists to learn, network, share knowledge, and upskill.
