“I am thrilled to welcome Jerry to the FIGS Board,” said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Years ago, when we were developing the digital marketing engine that helped build FIGS into the leading healthcare apparel company, we worked closely with Jerry and his company to do so. As a leader in digital and retention marketing, and with expertise in AI solutions, Jerry has extremely valuable insights to contribute to our Board, which we believe will help accelerate FIGS’ growth. In addition, given his finance experience, our Audit Committee will be well positioned to continue to function at a high level with Jerry as Chair. I’d like to thank Mario for so ably stepping in to serve as the Interim Chair of the Audit Committee over the last year, and look forward to continuing to work with both Jerry and Mario as we execute on our growth plans.”
