Indian-American entrepreneur Vishal Garg, who became widely known after firing 900 employees during a three-minute Zoom call just before Christmas in 2021, has been removed as chief executive of Better Home & Finance.
Garg was ousted in early August after Daniel Lewis, a hedge-fund manager who had joined Better's board just a week earlier, was appointed interim CEO. Better's board said directors other than Garg had unanimously voted to terminate him, citing concerns over his “judgment, temperament and credibility.”
