Los Angeles, CA. February 2026 – Lifesum has appointed Matthias Lenz as Chief Financial Officer, bringing nearly 20 years of international finance experience and a proven track record of scaling consumer brands — including formative years at Nike Europe, where he honed his commercial, business-partnering approach to financial leadership.
“Matthias is the perfect CFO to lead Lifesum’s next phase of growth,” says Marcus Gners, Co-Founder at Lifesum. “With his global finance experience and collaborative approach, he will accelerate our AI-powered, personalized health solutions, drive multimodal tracking and corporate well-being services, and deliver profitable, sustainable growth.”
Matthias is drawn to Lifesum’s mission and transformative potential in health and nutrition, particularly the company’s expansion into GLP-1 nutrition solutions and AI-driven hyper-personalization, which enable smarter, data-driven choices.
Central to this is Lifesum’s multimodal tracking technology, integrating nutrition and lifestyle data to deliver personalized insights and help users build healthier habits with precision.
Having led finance teams across sporting goods, payments, and digital platforms, Matthias has built FP&A functions, upgraded reporting systems, and guided organizations through rapid change. Known for his collaborative, transparent style, he believes finance should sit at the heart of business decisions — close to the product, the commercial model, and the user.
“At its best, finance helps the organization make better decisions,” Matthias says. “With Lifesum’s platform and products, we can empower millions to live healthier, more personalized lives — individually and at work.”
In addition to serving over 65 million people worldwide, Lifesum’s corporate well-being platform, Lifesum for Work, is trusted by companies including Amazon, PayPal, and GE, helping employees improve nutrition, productivity, and overall health.
In his first year, Matthias will focus on driving profitable, sustainable growth, prioritizing initiatives that matter most while balancing innovation with financial discipline. Overseeing Finance and HR, he will ensure Lifesum is empowered to deliver its bold vision.
