Leah Price, the general manager of Better‘s Tinman AI platform, is leaving the company. Price confirmed the news to HousingWire after Better founder and former CEO Vishal Garg posted the news on his X account.
“I heard from my friend and former teammate [Leah Price] today that she is leaving $BETR. I was so surprised that someone who was heading up our Tinman AI platform strategy and lived and breathed Tinman would be leaving the company. This should concern every shareholder,” Garg’s post read.
A spokesperson from Better also confirmed the news, saying that Price has “moved on from Better to pursue a new opportunity.” HousingWire confirmed through a spokesperson at United Wholesale Mortgage that Price will be joining UWM‘s technology team later this month to serve in an innovation role.
“We are grateful for her leadership and contributions to expanding Tinman’s reach across the mortgage industry over the last year. We wish her success in her next chapter,” the spokesperson said.
Price, who previously led fintech and artificial intelligence innovation efforts at the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), was hired by Better in June 2025. At the FHFA, Price was a senior financial technology and innovation specialist, and she was promoted in January 2025 to lead the agency’s Office of Financial Technology. She also played a key role in the FHFA’s TechSprint that focused on generative AI.
Before joining the FHFA, Price spent about two years as vice president of the lending ecosystem at fintech Figure Technologies and six years at Fannie Mae.
Price’s departure from Better comes at a time when the company is undergoing a leadership shakeup and a high-stakes corporate governance battle for control of the company between Garg and current management led by interim CEO Daniel Lewis.
Better’s spokesperson denied that Price’s departure has to do with the corporate governance battle or any other leadership changes.
“Any suggestion that Leah’s departure reflects the broader state of the business is inaccurate. We will do not have further comment to share on personnel matters and believe it is inappropriate to use them to advance a separate corporate dispute,” the spokesperson said.
