Klaviyo has named Erica Smith as its next chief financial officer, effective Sept. 1, 2026, replacing Amanda Whalen, who will step down Sept. 4 and remain in an advisory role through November.

Smith joins from CyberArk, where she served as CFO before the company was acquired by Palo Alto Networks. Klaviyo said she will oversee FP&A, accounting, tax and treasury, internal audit and investor relations.

The move comes as Klaviyo is pushing deeper into international markets, moving further upmarket and expanding its multi-product platform. Smith has more than 20 years of finance and investor relations experience, including senior roles at CyberArk and Demandware, where she helped lead financings, guidance-setting and communications with investors.

Klaviyo said its platform is used by more than 196,000 paying customers, including Mattel, TaylorMade, Glossier, Liquid Death and Daily Harvest, and connects through more than 350 integrations. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares 2.63% to a price of $17.355. For the full picture, make sure to review Klaviyo's 8-K report.
