Board of Directors Update

Today Lemonade also announced it has named Maria Angelidou-Smith to its Board of Directors, effective October 31, 2024.

Ms. Angelidou-Smith is an accomplished leader with a track record of scaling strong teams in growth environments and driving impactful product development. She is currently the Chief Product and Technology Officer of Personio, Europe’s leading HR software provider empowering small and mid-sized organizations. Maria previously served as Vice President of Product and General Manager at Meta, leading and scaling the monetization of the Facebook App as well as billion+ user products such as Facebook Groups, Events and Profile, and also held leadership roles with companies including Intuit and The Boston Consulting Group. She holds a BBA in Economics, Operations and Marketing from Athens University of Economics and Business, and an MBA from University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

“In an industry ripe for change, Lemonade has led the way in transforming not only the consumer experience, but also how companies operate in the insurance industry and beyond,” Angelidou-Smith noted. “I’ve spent much of my career building and growing products in the digital space, and I’m excited to join Lemonade’s Board and become part of a company that’s constantly driving their industry forward.”

Maria will replace departing Director Mwashuma (Shu) Nyatta, who has been a Lemonade director since November 2018. Mr. Nyatta recently notified the Company of his resignation, effective October 31. During his nearly six years on the Board, Shu has contributed invaluable insights through some of Lemonade’s biggest accomplishments, including the company’s IPO in 2020.

“Maria is a proven leader in product innovation and team building, experience that aligns perfectly with Lemonade’s mission to bring a fresh approach to the world of insurance,” noted Daniel Schreiber, Lemonade CEO and co-Founder. “Her expertise and experience will be invaluable as we scale in the years to come. At the same time, I want to express our deep gratitude to Shu for his many years of service on our Board, bringing his expertise and dedication to the table during some of Lemonade's most transformative years.”

Along with Maria, Lemonade’s Board is comprised of Lemonade co-Founders Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger, as well as Michael Eisenberg (Partner, Aleph), Deb Schwartz (CFO, H1), and Dr. Samer Haj-Yehia (former Chairman, Bank Leumi).
