Better Home & Finance Holding Company announced key updates to its Board of Directors. These strategic leadership changes became effective on July 27, 2026.
The AI-native homeownership company appointed Daniel Lewis to its Board of Directors. Lewis currently serves as the Founder and Managing Partner of Orange Capital. Furthermore, he brings over 30 years of investment and operational leadership to the organization. He began his career at Citigroup before founding Orange Capital in 2005. Additionally, Lewis maintains a significant ownership stake in Better as a primary shareholder.
“Daniel has spent his career helping companies sharpen their strategy, improve capital allocation, and create long-term shareholder value,” said Vishal Garg, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Better. “As Better continues its transformation into an AI-powered mortgage platform, Daniel’s experience in operational execution, capital markets, and regulated industries will strengthen our Board and help guide the Company’s next phase of growth.”
“Better’s platform is redefining the mortgage experience by using AI and automation to make homeownership more efficient, transparent, and affordable,” said Lewis. “What stood out to me is the discipline behind the Company’s transformation. Better has built a differentiated technology platform while making the difficult operational changes necessary to position the business for profitable growth. I look forward to supporting the Board and management team as they advance the Company’s strategy and work to create long-term value for shareholders.”
Reinforcing Governance and Strategic Direction
Harit Talwar, Chairman of Better’s Board of Directors, said the new appointment was warmly welcomed. He said Lewis brings critical corporate governance and execution expertise.
“We’re delighted to welcome Daniel to our Board of Directors,” said Harit Talwar, Chairman of Better’s Board. “His experience in governance, capital allocation, and operational execution will be a valuable addition to the Board as Better executes its strategy and work toward its 2026 objectives.”
Concurrently, David Barse stepped down from the Board of Directors on July 27, 2026. He exited the executive leadership team to pursue new external professional opportunities.
The company said it was “deeply grateful” to Mr. Barse for his loyal service and contributions. Officials also said that there was no difference in operational views in his departure. There was no corporate policy, accounting or board practice that his resignation was linked to.
The reorganized Board of Directors will be very focused on long-term corporate growth. The company is also expanding its proprietary Tinman AI platform across the mortgage industry. This new Board of Directors will provide strong governance as Better advances its 2026 strategic objectives.
