FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (“FIGS” or the “Company”), the direct-to-consumer healthcare apparel and lifestyle brand, announced today that Jeffrey Lawrence, its Chief Financial Officer, has decided to retire, effective December 24, 2021. Jeff joined FIGS in December 2020, coming out of retirement to help lead FIGS’ highly successful initial public offering earlier this year.
FIGS is excited to announce that Daniella Turenshine, its Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy, has been appointed FIGS’ Chief Financial Officer, effective December 24, 2021. Daniella joined FIGS in 2018 and led FIGS’ finance team for over two years before Jeff joined the Company, and she has continued to serve on FIGS’ senior executive team and as a leader on the finance team. Throughout her time at the Company, Daniella has been instrumental in helping FIGS achieve its unique combination of exponential revenue growth and high level of profitability. Prior to FIGS, she served as Vice President at Garnett Station Partners, a growth-oriented investment firm where she helped to build out a high-growth consumer products company. She also worked in private equity at Avista Capital Partners and in investment banking at Credit Suisse. She received her MBA from Harvard Business School and an AB in Finance and Economics from Princeton University.
“I want to thank Jeff for his contributions over the past year as he helped steward our IPO, build out our team, and set us up for success as a public company,” said Trina Spear, FIGS’ co-CEO. “I wish him all the best on behalf of the entire FIGS family.”
“As the son, husband and father of registered nurses, I have a deep respect for the healthcare community we serve and am proud of what we’ve accomplished during my tenure at FIGS, including our IPO,” said Jeff. “It has been a sincere privilege to work alongside FIGS’ management, the Board of Directors and my fellow employees. I am confident that we are well-positioned for our next phase of transformative growth under Daniella’s leadership.”
“Daniella has made a massive impact over her more than three years as a senior executive at FIGS,” said Trina. “She has proven herself to be an incredibly talented financial and strategic mind, and she has played a critical role in our rapid and profitable growth.”
“I am incredibly excited about the many opportunities that lie ahead, and what we can do to keep driving profitable growth while having an increasingly meaningful impact on the healthcare community,” said Daniella. “It’s truly an honor to help FIGS improve the lives of the healthcare professionals we serve.”
