“I am thrilled to return to Getaround to help accelerate the Company’s growth and path to profitability while reaching its incredible potential,” said Iniguez. “I am committed to our car owners and renters to be the carsharing platform of choice while we pave the way for long-term, sustainable growth. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves with the team to focus on execution and delivering results.”

“We are pleased to welcome Eduardo back to lead Getaround into its next phase of growth,” said Mudrick. “His track record of transformational leadership and passion for the carsharing space make him uniquely situated to take the helm as the Company focuses on revenue growth and a path to profitability.
