“We set out to assemble an incredible collection of people to
serve on Porch’s board as we begin this exciting new chapter in our
company’s history,” said Porch.com CEO, Chairman and Founder Matt
Ehrlichman. “We extensively vetted and considered many accomplished
candidates and believe the collective experience of these seasoned
leaders provides Porch with deep experience in home services,
technology, general business and governance. We are looking forward
to this diverse and accomplished board, along with our partners at
PropTech, to facilitate a smooth transition to becoming public, set
strategy and maximize our pathways to create shareholder value. We
are also grateful to Juan, Denny and Mike for the invaluable
guidance they have provided to Porch. We could not have gotten to
this point without them.”
Tom Hennessy, Chairman, Co-CEO and President of PTAC, as well as
future Director of Porch, commented: “Porch has created the first
fully-integrated software and home services platform with an
innovative B2B2C pricing model that helps make homeownership easy.
It’s an honor for Margaret and me to join this group of leaders,
represent all shareholders and bring Porch’s exciting growth story
to the public markets.”
