Lyft president Kristin Sverchek to exit on Aug. 20

An empty Lyft pickup area is shown as ride-share drivers hold a rally as part of a statewide day of action to demand that ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft follow California law and grant drivers "basic employee rights," in Los Angeles on Aug. 20, 2020. Lyft announced Tuesday that company president Kristin Sverchek will be leaving on Aug. 20. Sverchek joined the company in 2012, and has also held positions as general counsel and president of business affairs. Lyft CEO David Risher said in the release that the company will be "forever grateful" to Sverchek, who "helped pour the foundation the entire rideshare industry rests upon." The company also said Sverchek will be entitled to severance benefits, including a $650,000 cash payment.

After 11 years at Lyft, Kristin Sverchek stepped into the president's role earlier this year. She was the ride-hailing company's first general counsel, helped take Lyft public, and was named president in July. She's gotten more comfortable using her voice over the years, despite certain leadership muscles being "hard to develop," Sverchek recently told Business Insider. What I'm really excited about is that right now it's feeling like we have all of these little building blocks that we're putting into place at the company. So I'm really full of optimism for the new year.
