for both their merchants and shareholders.”
Mr. Meredith has spent three decades serving in senior executive
leadership and board director roles across both
multi-billion-dollar public companies as well as private equity
backed technology-focused firms.
As CEO of Everbridge, the global leader in software to provide
resilience to organizations, Meredith led during a period of rapid
growth which moved the company into the large-cap Russell 1000®
Index and earned him the award for Top 50 “Best CEO 2020” in the
Largest Company Category by Comparably. Prior to Everbridge,
Meredith held leadership positions at Rackspace, CenturyLink,
VeriSign, CGI, and Capital One Financial Corporation. In his role
as CEO at integration-software leader Boomi, Mr. Meredith was also
named as a “Best CEO 2022” for his work related to the spin-out of
Boomi from Dell to become a stand-alone global company. Most
recently he served as Board Director and Committee Chair for
digital transformation leader SADA (an Insight company).
Mr. Meredith earned his master’s degree from the University of
Virginia, where he serves on the UVA McIntire Advisory Board. He
graduated with honors from James Madison University (JMU) with a
Bachelor of Business Administration in Corporate Finance.
The Board of Directors regularly evaluates the composition of
the Board and considers how the Board can maintain the appropriate
mix of skills, qualifications and diversity of backgrounds to most
effectively oversee the business and long-term strategy of the
company. Following Mr. Meredith’s appointment, Riskified Ltd.’s
Board of Directors will be composed of eight directors, six of whom
qualify as “independent” under the listing rules of the New York
Stock Exchange.
