Brandon Ridenour served as the CEO of Angi Inc. from November 2018 to February 2021. Before taking the top job, he was the Chief Product Officer and had a solid background in technology from his time at HomeAdvisor, where he also held roles as Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer. His leadership was marked by his focus on integrating various home service brands under the Angi umbrella, especially after the acquisition of Angie's List. In 2018, as he stepped into the CEO role, he was granted 838,457 restricted stock units valued at around $15 million, which spoke to the company's belief in his potential to drive growth. However, his tenure was short-lived, and he resigned in early 2021 amidst a transition to new leadership at the company. His compensation varied widely, peaking at over $1.5 million in 2018 but dropping significantly by 2020 as he left the company, receiving only $145,647 that year. Despite the ups and downs, Ridenour’s time at Angi reflects a period of consolidation in a competitive tech-driven home services landscape.
