elected to its board of directors at its 2024 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, effective immediately. Davis has also been appointed
as a member of the audit committee. Davis brings nearly four
decades of diverse management and executive leadership experience
from his tenure as an Audit & Assurance partner at Deloitte
& Touche LLP.
Throughout his career, Davis has been a trusted advisor to
Fortune 500, privately held and pre-IPO companies, corporate boards
and audit committees across a broad spectrum of industries. His
extensive experience guiding over 50 clients through IPOs and
advising on corporate governance and acquisition strategy positions
him as a valuable addition to Yext’s leadership team.
“Mark has advised on numerous accounting and financial matters,
helping companies navigate the next steps in their journeys and
providing guidance on critical decisions,” said Michael Walrath,
CEO and Chair of the Board for Yext. “We’re excited to welcome him
to Yext’s Board of Directors, and are confident his contributions
will help us continue to deliver long-term value to our customers
and shareholders.”
In his roles at Deloitte, Davis has advised a diverse group of
public and privately held companies ranging from middle market to
large multinational companies. His leadership has contributed to
the success of the Emerging Growth Company (EGC) business, which
has increased substantially with many active clients. His
go-to-market approach for the creation of Deloitte Private also
helped establish Deloitte as a leader in the space.
“I’m excited to join the Yext team and bring my experience in
audit, financial strategy, and corporate governance to support the
company’s vision,” said Davis. “Yext’s focus on driving innovation
for customers and commitment to accelerating growth aligns well
with my areas of experience. I look forward to collaborating with
