On September 30, 2025, Kevin Ryan, the Chief Financial Officer of Better Home & Finance Holding Company (the “Company”), announced that he would retire from the Company to pursue other opportunities. The Company has commenced a comprehensive search process to identify the next Chief Financial Officer. To ensure leadership continuity, Mr. Ryan will assist in the smooth and orderly transition of the Chief Financial Officer duties.
This transition is without cause and Mr. Ryan has informed the Company that it is not due to any disagreement with the Board, the Company or management on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Ryan shared that "[t]he last 5 years I have spent at Better have been the most rewarding of my career. Vishal and the team have built an AI first company that is ready for the next stage of its evolution as the market improves and technological advancement in the industry accelerates. There is no company in the world better positioned to take advantage of these changes. As I transition, I will do everything I possibly can to support Better on its path to the next stage of market leadership. Congratulations to the Better team on all we have built and will continue to build."
“Kevin has done so much for Better in the past 5 years, from preparing us to IPO, to negotiating with our investors over $1.25 bln of additional capital raised, to working with us post public listing to build our finance functions as a public company. We are indebted to him for all of his contributions and wish him the best of success in whatever he chooses to pursue in the future.”, said Vishal Garg, Founder & CEO.
