Tech News reports that Cardlytics Inc. officially named David Evans as its new Chief Financial Officer. Evans will assume his executive duties starting January 12, 2026. This move marks a significant return for the seasoned finance leader. He previously served the company in multiple executive roles until 2020. Consequently, his deep familiarity with the organization provides a stable foundation for his new tenure.
Evans originally joined Cardlytics in 2014 and stayed through 2020. During that time, he helped manage the successful 2018 initial public offering. He now returns to oversee all accounting, finance, and investor relations functions. This appointment comes at a vital moment for the company’s long-term growth strategy. Furthermore, Evans brings extensive experience from recent advisory roles in the technology and software sectors.
“We are thrilled to welcome David Evans back to Cardlytics as our new Chief Financial Officer at a critical stage of our turnaround,” stated Amit Gupta, CEO of Cardlytics. “His deep understanding of our business and industry, proven leadership, and strong track record during his previous tenure make him uniquely equipped to help guide Cardlytics through this next phase and support long-term value creation for our shareholders.”
The incoming Chief Financial Officer expressed high enthusiasm for his return to the Atlanta-based firm. He aims to apply his broad market experience to enhance the current operational momentum.
“I have a tremendous affinity for Cardlytics, its mission, and its employees,” noted David Evans. “I’m looking forward to building on the momentum with financial rigor and disciplined execution.”
Evans succeeds Alexis DeSieno, who recently resigned from the position. She will remain as an advisor until March 2026 to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
