Braze to Report Q1 2027 Results, CFO to Step Down

Braze said it will report fiscal first-quarter 2027 results after the market close on May 27, and it reaffirmed the first-quarter and full-year guidance it issued on March 24.

The company also disclosed two management changes. Chief financial officer Isabelle Winkles will step down, remain CFO through May 29, and then stay on in an advisory role through Aug. 17 to help with the transition. Braze plans to name Chief Accounting Officer Pankaj Malik as interim CFO. Malik has led the accounting department since 2021, and the company has started a search for a permanent finance chief.

Braze also said Nick Rockwell will join as chief information officer on June 1. He will report to cofounder and CTO Jon Hyman and will oversee compliance, data governance, AI transformation, enterprise business data flows, and corporate IT. Rockwell previously held technology and operations roles at Fastly and served as chief technology and chief information officer at The New York Times.

In comments on the changes, CEO Bill Magnuson said Winkles helped guide the company through the COVID era, its IPO, and a “material improvement” in profitability and free cash flow in later years. He said Malik would support a seamless transition and that the company remains focused on its growth opportunity. Today the company's shares have moved 3.61% to a price of $23.27.
