NEW YORK, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Peloton Interactive, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTON) today announced it has appointed Liz Coddington as the company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective June 13, 2022. Ms. Coddington brings more than 20 years of experience in financial planning and analysis and operational finance, and has a proven track record of driving growth and building high-performance finance teams. She succeeds Jill Woodworth, who has decided to step down as Peloton’s Chief Financial Officer after serving the company since 2018.

Peloton CEO Barry McCarthy said, “Liz is a deeply talented finance executive and will be an invaluable addition to Peloton’s leadership team. Having worked at some of the strongest and most recognizable technology brands, she not only brings the expertise needed to run our finance organization, but she has a critical understanding of what it takes to drive growth and operational excellence. I have seen her intellect, abilities, and leadership firsthand and am excited to work closely with her as we execute the next phase of Peloton’s journey.”

Mr. McCarthy continued, “I would like to thank Jill for four years of dedicated service. She scaled the global finance function through an extraordinary period, led the company through its IPO, and has been an integral member of the leadership team. We wish Jill well in the next phase of her career and are grateful for all her contributions.”
