SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV), a leading autonomous robotics company, today announced the appointment of Andreas Lieber to the company’s Board of Directors, effective June 22, 2026. Mr. Lieber will replace Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility & Delivery at Uber, who is stepping down after serving three years on Serve's Board.

Andreas Lieber brings deep experience scaling technology and logistics businesses across Uber, Postmates, Pinterest, Groupon, Yahoo, and T-Mobile. At Postmates, he served as General Manager and interim CEO, leading the company through its integration with Uber, the period during which Serve was spun out as an independent company. He later served as Chief Operating Officer of Shippo, the logistics and shipping platform, and currently serves as General Manager, Industry & Technology, at California Forever, where he is responsible for building and leading the company's manufacturing and industrial business across one of the country's largest planned development projects.

"Serve started on sidewalks delivering food, and we're now operating robots in hospitals and kitchens as well as beginning to build the infrastructure for other robotics companies to run on. That's a different company than the one we started, and the board is growing with it," said Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. "Andreas has built and scaled exactly this kind of platform, at Postmates and Shippo in logistics, at Uber and Pinterest, and now city-scale infrastructure at California Forever. That's the perspective we need as we grow."

"Sarfraz Maredia joined us when sidewalk delivery was still considered niche. He helped us build the discipline and focus that made our evolution possible, and played an important role in helping Serve become a public company. We’re grateful for that foundation," added Kashani.

"It has been a privilege to serve on Serve’s Board over the past three years. Watching this team grow a small footprint in sidewalk robots into a robotics infrastructure company has been exciting to see," said Sarfraz Maredia. "Given his background at Postmates and Uber, I am confident Andreas Lieber is the right person for where Serve is headed, and I look forward to watching what comes next."
