Daniel Lewis, founder and managing partner of hedge fund Orange Capital, has joined the board of Better Home & Finance Holding Co., replacing outgoing director David Barse, the company announced this week. Lewis brings more than 30 years of investment and operating experience, including early-career roles at Citigroup before he launched New York-based Orange Capital in 2005. Garg added that as Better “continues its transformation into an AI-powered mortgage platform,” Lewis’ experience in capital markets and regulated industries will support the company’s next phase of growth. Lewis said Better is using AI and automation to “redefine” the mortgage experience by making homeownership more efficient, transparent and affordable. Board Chair Harit Talwar said Lewis’s background in governance, capital allocation and operational execution will support Better as it works toward its stated 2026 objectives.
