On December 19, 2024, Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (the “Company”) elected Asheet Mehta to the Company’s Board as an independent director, effective immediately. Mr. Mehta brings more than 30 years of financial services and banking experience, having most recently served as Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, where he led the Financial Services Practice in the Americas and co-led it globally. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees at the Asia Society and was previously on the Board of Partnership with Children. He is also an Advisor for MoneySatNav and CreditEnable. Mr. Mehta has tremendous experience in financial services, having served clients which include fintech, credit card companies, universal banks and retail banks, insurance, as well as wealth and asset managers.
Also on December 19, 2024, the Board elected Alison Davis to the Company’s Board as an independent director, effective immediately. With more than 30 years of experience, Ms. Davis currently serves as Chairman and Managing Partner of Blockchain Coinvestors, the leading blockchain venture fund with over 80 blockchain unicorns. Previously, she served as CFO of Barclays Global Investors (now Blackrock). She currently serves on the Board of Kraken and as a board advisor for Bitwise. She has previously served on the boards of Silicon Valley Bank, Fiserv, First Data Corporation, Pacaso, City National Bank, NatWest and several others. Davis also serves as Chairman of Renaissance, which helps thousands of low income clients start and grow businesses, and on the boards of NACD Northern California and Cambridge in America.
The Board expects to appoint both Mr. Mehta and Ms. Davis to one or more of its committees, with such committee assignment(s) to be determined at a later date. Both Mr. Mehta and Ms. Davis will be compensated for their service as a director on the same basis as other non-employee directors of the Company. The Company’s non-employee director compensation is described under the heading “Non-Employee Director Compensation” in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2024.
On December 19, 2024, the Board accepted the resignations of Mr. Mircea Ungureanu and Ms. Nicole Torraco from the Company's Board. Neither Mr. Ungureanu’s resignation nor Ms. Torraco’s resignation was as a result of any disagreement with the Company, its management, the Board or any committee of the Board. The Company expresses its gratitude to Mr. Ungureanu and Ms. Torraco for their service and contributions to the Board and looks forward to continuing to work with both of them in the future.
A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing changes to the Company’s Board is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
