May 18, 2023
Markforged, Watertown, Massachusetts, USA, has announced that Mark Schwartz has stepped down as Chief Financial Officer, effective May 15. Schwartz will continue to serve in an advisory role until July 15 to ensure a smooth transition.
“It has been an honour to have helped see Markforged through a period of significant transformation and to build the infrastructure needed to operate as a public company. I’m extremely proud of the entire team at Markforged and look forward to watching the company’s continued success and to supporting Assaf during the transition,” said Mark Schwartz.
Markforged President and Chief Executive Officer Shai Terem shared, “Since joining Markforged, Mark has made a significant contribution to the company. With his support and leadership, Markforged went public through its merger with one in July 2021 and built a high-performing team. He leaves the company in a strong position to continue to execute on our strategic plan, and I wish him all the success in his future endeavours.”
Assaf Zipori, Markforged Senior Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development, will assume the role of Acting Chief Financial Officer, a position that he previously undertook from November 2019 through March 2021, while the company conducts a search for a replacement.
“Assaf is well-prepared to support us in this key position, having previously served as Markforged’s Acting CFO and leading our financial team prior to the company’s merger with one. He is a pivotal part of our leadership team, and I’m extremely confident that the company is in good hands with Assaf temporarily assuming this expanded role,” Terem concluded.
