(exechange) — Atlanta, Georgia, March 3, 2020 — Scott Grimes, chief executive of Cardlytics, leaves his position. As announced by Cardlytics Inc. in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Scott D. Grimes leaves his post as chief executive officer at the purchase intelligence platform after almost 12 years in the role, effective May 15, 2020.

Scott Grimes’s duties as CEO will be taken over by Lynne M. Laube, currently Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Cardlytics Inc.

Scott Grimes’s move forms part of a management shake-up also involving the positions of Chief Financial Officer; and Chief Administrative Officer.

Chief Financial Officer David Evans will become Chief Administrative Officer, reporting directly to Laube. Cardlytics SVP and Controller Andy Christiansen will become CFO.

Evans and Christiansen assume their new roles on March 4.

“Part of our long-term succession planning”

The management change is explained as follows. Grimes said: “I’m happy to announce these changes to our leadership team structure to prepare us for continued growth. Lynne has always been the clear choice as the next CEO, and is the right leader to further unlock the value of the unique platform we have built. David Evans will move into a broader and much-needed role as Chief Administrative Officer; and Andy Christiansen, who has served as our SVP and Controller for more than five years, is the clear choice to serve as our next Chief Financial Officer. These announcements formalize a transition that has been underway for some time as part of our long-term succession planning.”

Grimes will remain as Executive Chairman at Cardlytics

“Cardlytics Co-Founder and CEO Scott Grimes, 57, will become Executive Chairman of the Board in a newly-created role, and John Balen, Chairman of the Cardlytics Board, will retain a leadership position on the board as Lead Independent Director at that time,” Cardlytics said.

“Relinquishing”

Cardlytics said: “In connection with the appointment of Ms. Laube as Chief Executive Officer, on March 3, 2019, the Board also approved the appointment of Scott D. Grimes as Executive Chairman, effective May 15, 2020, relinquishing his roles and responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer to Ms. Laube.”

Share price increase since February 2018

The announcement follows an increase in Cardlytics Inc.’s share price of 541% since February 2018.
