Brewer said in a statement that “there’s real innovation waiting to be unlocked in rideshare and a big market opportunity ahead.” She previously held finance leadership roles at Charles Schwab Corp., Atlassian Corp. and McKesson Corp.
Lisa Blackwood-Kapral, Lyft’s chief accounting officer, will serve as interim CFO until Brewer’s tenure begins.
The changes come after Lyft forecast a disappointing second quarter earlier this month, as price cuts in its race with bigger rival Uber to add more riders took a toll on margins.
