"We are delighted to have brought on board Karen and Dominique who bring substantial expertise in the restaurant and food and drink sectors, as well as deep knowledge of consumer marketing and real insight into our European markets," Claudia Arney, chair of Deliveroo, said.
"They join at an important time for Deliveroo as we build on the opportunities ahead of us as a public company. They will provide a valuable and fresh perspective to support the company's continued growth."
Reiniche will start her appointment on 1 May, whilst Jones will join the board on 1 June.
"I am looking forward to working with the Board and the wider Executive team to build the business through strong and mutually beneficial partnerships with customers, riders, restaurants and food retailers to the benefit of all," Jones said.
