Nerdwallet.com, a three-year-old personal finance website, has hired two executives to help manage its growth.

The San Francisco-based company has hired Dan Yoo to be its chief operating officer. Yoo comes from LinkedIn, where he led the company’s performance management, strategic initiatives and analytics.

Yoo helped LinkedIn’s annual revenues grow to more than $1.5 billion from $120 million and increase its members to 275 million from 45 million.

Meanwhile, NerdWallet has hired Flo Thinh as its vice president of talent. Thinh is one of the top recruiters in Silicon Valley.

Thinh built and led the recruiting team that scaled social-gaming startup Zynga to more than 3,000 employees from 40 in just four years. After Zynga, Thinh joined Khosla Ventures as an operating partner.
