Paul will advise the Board on financial strategy, corporate governance, and capital allocation, drawing on her deep expertise growing platform businesses and navigating complex investor and market dynamics. She will offer an independent perspective as inDrive continues to grow its core mobility business and expand its portfolio of services across 48 countries.

Paul brings more than three decades of experience leading high-growth technology, mobility and media organizations. As Chief Financial Officer of Lyft she oversaw all finance functions, including investor relations, FP&A, accounting, treasury, and corporate development, and guided the company through a period of significant business transformation, driving record revenues and significant efficiencies. Prior to Lyft, she served as CFO of Amazon Studios, where she oversaw financial planning and strategy for the company's multi-billion-dollar content acquisitions and investments. Before Amazon, she spent six years as CFO of Hulu, helping to significantly scale the company’s revenue and grow its valuation. Earlier in her career, she spent more than two decades at The Walt Disney Company, where her tenure included partnering with the executive team on Disney's international reorganization and leading Disney's original investment in Hulu. She currently serves on the Boards of Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) and Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ).

Commenting on the appointment, Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO of inDrive, said: "Elaine understands from the inside what it takes to scale a mobility business, and how to balance the opportunity and organizational discipline necessary to sustainably grow the business. Her presence on the Board will strengthen our governance and financial maturity. I'm delighted to welcome her to the Board, and look forward to working closely with her as inDrive continues to bring its mobility and delivery platform to millions around the world."

"inDrive is a platform where fairness isn't just a value statement, but integral to how the business operates. That mission resonates with me, and so does the company’s clear ambition, backed by strong fundamentals. I'm delighted to be joining inDrive’s Board and look forward to contributing to the next phase of the company’s journey, helping to build the governance to match its global scale," said Elaine Paul.

Paul joins inDrive’s Board of Directors, which also includes four other non-employee directors: Daegwon Chae and Mahmoud Ragwani of BOND Capital, Ryan M. Hinkle of Insight Partners, and Jeri Doris, who joined as inDrive's first independent Board Director in 2025. Her appointment reflects the company's continued commitment to building governance structures that match its global ambitions.
