LendingTree, Inc., the leading online financial services marketplace in the United States, announced in late April the appointment of two new independent directors to its Board.

While Jennifer Witz submitted her resignation as a member of the Board of this company, Diego A. Rodríguez and Mark Ernst assumed their new roles on April 27.

Doug Lebda, Founder, Chairman and CEO of LendingTree, said:

I am thrilled to welcome Mark and Diego to the Board of Directors and want to thank Jennifer for her contribution and support as a board member. 

Lebda also highlighted the importance of Rodríguez's arrival, pointing out that “Diego brings a unique combination of creative product design and innovation grounded in a pragmatic business and engineering mindset that will certainly serve LendingTree and its shareholders well.”

“The addition of these new members will help to elevate our organization as we execute on our strategy, deliver a best-in-class customer experience and become the ultimate resource for consumers wanting to take control of their financial lives,” it was highlighted from LendingTree, Inc. 

For his part, the arrival of Ernst, who has extensive experience in technology and financial services, as well as in operational background, is expected to be a great addition to the company.
