Better names Daniel Lewis interim CEO as Garg exits founder role
Lewis, who brings more than 30 years of operating, investment, and governance experience, will manage Better’s day-to-day operations, execute the board-approved operating plan, and set the company’s strategic direction.
He joined Better’s board on July 27, just one week before his appointment, following several months advising the company’s management committee on cost reduction, enterprise partnerships, and strategic planning.
The board has indicated no fixed timeline for naming a permanent chief executive, and has said it will consider all suitable candidates, including Lewis.
“Better is at an important inflection point, and now is the right time for new leadership,” said Garg in a statement.
Harit Talwar, chairman of the board, acknowledged Garg’s role in building out the company’s foundational technology stack, including its Tinman origination platform and Betsy AI loan agent.
