Thea Rogers was previously Deliveroo's chief customer officer.
She worked at the food takeaway start-up after taking on a high-powered role as VP, head of global comms and policy, in January 2017.
Prior to that job, she served as chief of staff at HM Treasury for over a year and had spent several years as former chancellor George Osborne’s chief of staff.
She was "a BBC producer hired by Osborne to improve his media image," wrote the Financial Times in 2015.

Before working as special adviser to the Chancellor, and being promoted to Chief of Staff in 2015, Rogers worked for the BBC as a political editor's producer and a senior producer on Newsnight.
The Oxford Uni graduate provided her political expertise on Labour's 2005 re-election campaign, before switching sides, to the Conservatives.
She was at the centre of a row over David Cameron's resignation honours list, with then Lib Dem leader Tim Farron saying it was "full of cronies".
Rogers received an OBE after a furore when the ex-PM's list was leaked - which included rich Tory donors and aides such as his wife's stylist.

When was Thea Rogers' wedding to George Osborne?
On Saturday, July 8, George Osborne married Thea Rogers at a picturesque church in Bruton, Somerset - where he owns a ￡1.6million house.
The wedding came just over two years after the couple announced their engagement in April 2021, with Mr Osborne saying at the time: "I have probably never been happier in my life."
Among the guests attending the nuptials at the 14th century St Mary’s Church were David Cameron and the ex-PM’s wife Samantha, Tory grandee William Hague, another ex-Chancellor Sajid Javid and Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove.
Disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock also attended the ceremony, as did ex-Bank of England governor Mark Carney.
Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and her politician-turned-TV-host husband Ed Balls were also on the wedding guest list.
After the newlyweds appeared from the service to take photos, a Just Stop Oil protester ambushed the wedding and threw orange confetti over the couple.
Onlookers initially thought the woman was a well-wisher — as she ran from a crowd of villagers and hurled the paper at the ex-Chancellor and his new wife.
However, the woman, who turned away grinning, was then ushered from the scene by a security guard before running off.
Just Stop Oil later tweeted: ''You look good in orange @George_Osborne — congratulations to the newlyweds.''
The eco protest came after it was reported he asked police to investigate a poison pen letter circulated to guests on the eve of the wedding.
Friends said the email was the latest in a long-standing campaign of harassment against him, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Mr Osborne is understood to know the identity of the email’s author and has also begun civil proceedings.
His friends claim the alleged culprit has no connection to Mr Osborne or his bride.
Does Thea Rogers have any children?
The couple share two sons, Beau and Arthur.
In July 2021, they welcomed their first son together, Beau.
Their second son, Arthur, was born on December 30, 2022.
George also has two children, Liberty and Luke, from his first marriage to author Frances Howell.

What does Thea Rogers do for a living?
In March 2022, Rogers announced she will be leaving Deliveroo after five years to focus on her family and future career.
She decided to depart from her role as Chief Customer Officer, stating: “My maternity leave has given me the chance to reflect on what I want to do next, and now is a great time for me to begin a new chapter as well as to spend more time in the next few months with my baby, Beau.”
