The Trade Desk has appointed Tahnil Davis as interim chief financial officer, effective January 24, as the company begins a search for a permanent successor. Davis, the company’s chief accounting officer, has been with The Trade Desk for nearly 11 years and succeeds Alex Kayyal. She will report to the CEO and co-founder, Jeff Green.
The company said Davis brings extensive experience in financial management across domestic and international markets, including leadership roles at high-growth software and internet services businesses. During her tenure at The Trade Desk, she has helped build the company’s financial and operational infrastructure and supported corporate governance as the business scaled.
Alongside the leadership change, The Trade Desk reaffirmed its fourth-quarter 2025 guidance issued on November 6, 2025. The company continues to expect revenue of at least $840 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $375 million, noting it is still finalizing results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The Trade Desk also announced it plans to release fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results after the market closes on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, followed by a webcast and conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
The company reiterated that adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure intended to supplement GAAP reporting and is presented for comparative purposes.
