Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical
event management and enterprise safety software applications to
help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced a
succession plan for its Chief Financial Officer. Kenneth Goldman,
who has served as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial
Officer since April 2015, will retire in mid-2019.
Patrick Brickley, Everbridge Vice President of Finance &
Accounting, will be promoted to the role of Senior Vice President
& Chief Financial Officer upon Goldman’s retirement. As part of
the planned CFO transition, Goldman will remain in a consulting
advisory role with the company into 2020 reporting to Everbridge
Chairman and CEO Jaime Ellertson.
“Ken’s financial and operational leadership have been
instrumental in scaling Everbridge from a privately-held company to
a successful public company, and the global market leader in
critical event management,” said Ellertson. “Ken established the
highest standards for integrity and professionalism in our
world-class finance team during a period of tremendous growth for
the company. After a very successful career, he is fulfilling his
long-planned personal goal of retiring after turning 60 next year,
and will be embarking on a new chapter to pursue personal
interests.”
Patrick Brickley has over 20 years of finance, accounting, and
operational leadership experience and has focused the past decade
on high-growth technology companies. He joined Everbridge in May of
2015 as Vice President of Finance and was promoted to VP Finance
& Accounting in 2017. He was instrumental throughout the
company’s IPO process, and has been actively involved in the
execution of the company’s capital transactions, M&A activity,
and investor relations program beginning with the Everbridge IPO in
September 2016. Prior to joining Everbridge, Brickley served as the
lead finance partner to tech visionaries pursuing a number of
innovation initiatives at Google in the roles of Finance Manager
and Controller. Before Google, he held several financial leadership
roles at ITA Software, which was later acquired by Google. Brickley
began his career as a CPA at PricewaterhouseCoopers in the
Technology group of the Boston office, and received his MBA from
the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and his
undergraduate degree in Accounting from Lehigh University.
“Ken has developed a deep bench of strong financial leaders at
Everbridge to ensure that this transition is seamless,” continued
Ellertson. “Patrick is an extremely talented leader who has worked
closely with our entire executive leadership team building and
executing our business plans since 2015. His leadership and
consistent performance at Everbridge make him an excellent
successor to Ken. We look forward to Patrick becoming our new Chief
Financial Officer in 2019 as we continue to grow our business to
address the large, multi-billion-dollar critical event management
opportunity.”
