However, Mallett will continue her association with the company and serve as a director on the company’s Board of Directors.

Mallett said: “From the start – 16 years ago – I’ve been building ezCater so that it could one day operate without me. I’m beyond proud of our successes, including that the company has outgrown me.

“Now’s the right time for both me and ezCater to enter new chapters. Ashwin is a strategic thinker and a long-term builder who shares our values, including our commitment to ‘going beyond helpful’ for our customers and partners. I’m confident he will lead ezCater through its next successes.”

Raj is an experienced e-commerce and marketplace technology leader who also led the rideshare business of Lyft from 2021 to 2023.
