Summary
Via is executing a planned leadership transition in its legal function. Matt Levine, who spent over a decade as General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer at publicly traded Clear Secure, takes over as Chief Legal Officer on July 27, 2026. His background includes navigating public-company compliance, regulatory matters, and privacy issues at a biometric identity platform.
The outgoing CLO, Erin Abrams, is not leaving immediately but transitioning to a senior advisory role through year-end. This structured handoff preserves institutional knowledge during the change.
For a private company like Via, bringing in someone with Levine's public-company legal experience could signal preparation for increased regulatory scrutiny, potential public-market activity, or simply a desire for deeper expertise as the business scales. The orderly transition and Abrams's continued involvement through January suggest this is a planned evolution rather than a disruptive departure.
