The latest update is out from Cardlytics ( (CDLX) ).
On December 18, 2025, Cardlytics announced that company alumnus David Evans will return as Chief Financial Officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer effective January 12, 2026, succeeding outgoing CFO Alexis DeSieno, who will remain in a non-officer advisory role through March 6, 2026 to ensure a smooth transition.
