EquipmentShare adds two directors following IPO board transition
EquipmentShare.com Inc (NASDAQ: EQPT) announced the appointment of Damian Giangiacomo and Harley Miller to its board of directors, effective June 8. The Columbia, Missouri-based equipment rental and technology company made the appointments following its initial public offering.
Giangiacomo will also serve on the board's audit committee. He co-founded private equity firm Nexus Capital Management LP in 2013 and currently serves as managing partner. The Los Angeles-based firm manages approximately $5 billion in assets. Giangiacomo previously spent 13 years at Apollo Global Management's private equity group and began his career at Morgan Stanley. He currently serves on the board of Rent the Runway Inc (NASDAQ: RENT) and several private companies.
Miller founded venture capital and growth equity firm Left Lane Capital in 2019 and serves as its chief executive officer. He previously spent nine years as a principal at Insight Venture Management and served on EquipmentShare's board during its private growth phase from December 2016.
The appointments follow the departure of board members Henry Yeagley and John Weinstein as part of a board transition following the IPO. Yeagley joined the board in May 2022, while Weinstein joined in December 2024. Both departures reflect the company's evolution as a public entity, according to the company.
"We are excited to welcome Damian and Harley to our Board of Directors during this pivotal next chapter as a public company," said Jabbok Schlacks, founder and CEO of EquipmentShare.
EquipmentShare was founded in 2015 and provides construction technology and equipment solutions. The company operates a fleet management platform, telematics devices, and an equipment rental marketplace.
