ATLANTA, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Equifax® (NYSE: EFX) today announced that
Barbara Larson, former Chief
Financial Officer for Workday, has been elected to its board of
directors.
"I'm energized to welcome Barbara as a new independent director
on our board," said Mark W. Begor,
CEO of Equifax. "Her more than two decades of financial leadership
and extensive experience in both human capital management and
enterprise technology will be a tremendous asset to Equifax as we
execute against our EFX2026 strategic priorities – continuing to
grow our non-mortgage business through Equifax Cloud-based new
product and EFX.AI innovation."
Larson will serve on the board's Audit Committee. With this
appointment, the Equifax board now consists of ten directors,
including nine independent directors.

the Equifax board of directors and am confident that her background
will be invaluable to the board in its continued oversight of the
company's strategic growth."
Larson most recently served as Chief Financial Officer at
Workday, a leading provider of solutions to help organizations
manage their people and money. Under her financial leadership, the
company consistently beat quarterly guidance and issued their first
investment grade debt offering. During her nearly decade-long
tenure with Workday, Larson held several leadership positions
across the company's finance and product organizations, including
Senior Vice President of accounting, tax, and treasury, as well as
General Manager of Workday Financial Management, where she oversaw
Workday Financial Management applications.
"The new Equifax has expanded well beyond a traditional credit
bureau – growing into a leading global data, analytics and
technology company," commented Larson. "I look forward to working
with the board of directors to help guide the company's strategic
priorities as it continues its growth worldwide."
