WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT) (“WisdomTree” or the “Company”), a
global financial innovator, today announced that at today’s meeting
of WisdomTree’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board
appointed new chairs and members to all three committees of the

- Nominating and Governance Committee: Smita Conjeevaram
(Chair), Lynn S. Blake, Daniela Mielke, Tonia Pankopf and Harold

With these changes, two of the three committees are now chaired
by directors who joined the Board within the past three years, and
every committee is comprised of a majority of directors who joined
within that time. Additionally, every committee includes at least
one director nominated by WisdomTree stockholder ETFS Capital.
Jonathan Steinberg, Chief Executive Officer of WisdomTree, said,
“Our new independent directors have quickly become integral voices
in our boardroom and demonstrated their skills and expertise, and
we’re pleased to welcome them into these roles as members and
chairs of key Board committees. We’ve dedicated considerable time
and resources to onboarding the independent directors who have
joined our Board in the past three years and providing them with
the knowledge of our business and experience needed to support and
enhance our growth. These appointments reflect our ongoing
commitment to refreshing our Board and driving value for WisdomTree
stockholders.”
Mr. Steinberg continued, “We are particularly pleased that
Harold Singleton III and Smita Conjeevaram will serve as committee
chairs. Since their appointments to the Board in 2022 and 2021,
respectively, they have both contributed skills and experience that
are essential to our Board and WisdomTree’s future success. They
are proven leaders and I believe that in their new positions, they
will continue to contribute to WisdomTree’s growth in collaboration
with the rest of our Board and management.”
Win Neuger has also been elected to the role of independent
Board Chair, replacing Frank Salerno, whose many years of service
to WisdomTree concluded at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
on June 16, 2023. Shamla Naidoo and Tonia Pankopf have joined the
Board as independent directors and now sit on the Compensation
Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, respectively.
Ms. Naidoo and Ms. Pankopf are currently engaged in the Company’s
comprehensive director onboarding program.
Win Neuger, Chair of WisdomTree’s Board of Directors, said,
“While our newest directors, Shamla Naidoo and Tonia Pankopf, are
continuing to learn about our business and operations, I am certain
that their expertise will be beneficial to the Company and our
Board committees. We’re confident they will make substantive
contributions to our Board. Finally, I want to express my gratitude
for Frank Salerno’s immense contributions to WisdomTree over the
years.”
