Former Better Home Finance CEO Vishal Garg Seeks Reinstatement After Removal
Vishal Garg, the Indian-origin founder and former CEO of Better Home Finance, was removed from his position in August 2023 and replaced by Daniel Lewis. Garg, known for controversially firing about 900 employees via Zoom in 2021, alleges that Lewis misled the board to secure his removal and is now seeking reinstatement with legal representation. The board cited concerns over Garg's leadership and judgment, while Garg disputes their decision and has hired lawyer Alex Spiro to challenge it.
