Business Wire
Shift4 Payments (NYSE: FOUR), today announced the appointment of
Karen Roter Davis to the Shift4 Payments Board of Directors,
effective August 16, 2021. Ms. Davis will service as a member of
the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. Ms. Davis will be
replacing Andrew Frey, who stepped down from the Board of
Directors, effective immediately. Following the appointment of Ms.
Davis, the Board will comprise 7 Directors, 4 of which are
independent.
“We are pleased to welcome Karen to the Shift4 Board,” said
Jared Isaacman, chairman and chief executive officer of Shift4.
“Karen’s deep technology expertise from start-up to public
companies will be invaluable to the strategic direction of
Shift4.”
Ms. Davis is Director of Early Stage Projects at X (formerly
Google X) and focuses on providing strategic direction and
oversight for a portfolio of early-stage technology ventures. Ms.
Davis has held various senior positions at Google in her career –
initially from 2003 through 2008 -- serving as a Principal in their
New Business Development group, and overseeing operations for the
company’s groundbreaking IPO in 2004. More recently, in September
2016 she returned to Google as Director for mapping and local
search strategy and business development by way of Alphabet’s
acquisition of Urban Engines, a geospatial analytics platform. Ms.
Davis was Urban Engines’ first business hire and helped establish
foundational business development, strategy, and operations
functions in her role. She previously served on the board of
Innovyze, acquired by Autodesk, where she was chair of the audit
committee and member of the compensation committee. Ms. Davis
earned her MBA from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern
University, her J.D. from Northwestern University School of Law,
and her B.A. from Princeton University’s School of Public &
International Affairs. We believe Ms. Davis is qualified to serve
on our Board of Directors due to her two decades of experience in
the technology industry and her various senior leadership and
advisory roles spanning startups to global corporations.
Ms. Davis adds to the breadth of expertise of the Board which
currently consists of three other independent directors that have
served since the initial public offering in June 2020: Sarah
Goldsmith-Grover, Nancy Disman, and Jonathan Halkyard.
