Advertising technology firm The Trade Desk has promoted its long-time finance executive Tahnil Davis to the role of interim Chief Financial Officer while the company continues to look for a permanent successor.
Davis currently serves in the role of Chief Accounting Officer, the company said in a statement on Monday. She has spent more than a decade at The Trade Desk, joining in 2015 as the company’s Vice President of Finance. Her time in the finance industry dates back to the mid-1990s, when she worked as a senior auditor for Arthur Andersen.
“Tahnil is an exceptionally strong operator and leader who understands our business inside and out,” Jeff Green, The Trade Desk’s co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. “Her combination of financial rigor, strategic insight, and hands-on execution has been instrumental in helping us build a finance organization that can support our next phase of growth. I look forward to our continued partnership as we continue to execute against our strategic priorities.”
The promotion coincided with the announcement of The Trade Desk’s fourth quarter (Q4) financial earnings release, which will take place in late February. The company is still finalizing its financial report, but reaffirmed guidance provided last November that expects to see at least $840 million in revenue and $375 million adjusted earnings for Q4. The Trade Desk said it wasn’t — and still isn’t — able to provide guidance on net income because it would require “unreasonable efforts.”
