Fabian Siegel comments: “Over the last 10 years, the team at Marley Spoon has built an amazing business that provides access to healthy and delightful meals on a global scale, having served more than 260 million meals and generated more than 1.6 billion Euros in lifetime net revenue. This success would not have happened without all the support of Marley Spoon team members, our investors, external partners and most importantly without the loyalty of our customers. I am grateful for all this support and for the opportunity to learn from everyone around me over the years”. Fabian continues “With the business expected to be profitable on an Operating EBITDA level in 2024 and with expected continued growth, now is the right time to transition leadership. In that regard, I am pleased to congratulate Daniel on moving to the role as CEO after joining the company last year as COO. It is still Day One for Marley Spoon, and there is a lot to come over the next years. I will be cheering for the continued success of the team from the sidelines and continue to support Marley Spoon.”

Daniel Raab commented: “Marley Spoon is an exciting company with fantastic brands and a great team, which are the reasons why I have joined the company in October last year. I am excited for Nasreen, Jennifer and Federico to join me in leading the team together during this exciting time, and we will make our contribution to realizing our company’s potential.”
