Washington, D.C. – March 18, 2019 – As part of the organization’s commitment to provide a targeted complement of programs, industry information, and forums designed to provide competitive market intelligence, stimulate revenue and company growth, and facilitate quality deal flow, MAVA announced today the addition of Capital One Growth Ventures (NYSE: COF), Google Cloud (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Tenable®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), and Yext (NYSE:YEXT) as its newest Public Company Members. Both Tenable and Yext will be featured during the spring edition of MAVA’s C-Suite Summit on April 11th – a bi-annual conference providing unparalleled, real-time content for the leadership teams of privately-financed and public growth companies.

“MAVA’s Public Company Membership class provides an important engagement pathway for corporate industry looking to interact and exchange new ideas with tech companies on a demonstrated growth trajectory – from early to growth to late-stage,” said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of MAVA. “With a host of business needs that span across recruiting top tech talent, trendspotting and accessing the latest technology trends, garnering competitive intelligence and best practices at the market-level, and much more, Public Company Membership provides a unique platform for corporate engagement,” continued Spicer.

MAVA’s trusted and central role as the hub of the technology community on the East Coast for more than 30 years has fostered a recurring pipeline of industry-leading companies and created an efficient platform for companies looking to secure their place at the forefront of the market. The inclusion of public companies adds dimension and value to MAVA’s existing membership and strategic programs, as well as allows for increased access to market-leading products.

During the upcoming Spring C-Suite Summit, Stephen Riddick, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Tenable, will join a blue ribbon panel to discuss the pathway to liquidity, an evergreen topic for expanding global enterprises. Having been part of the executive team that led Tenable through its IPO in July of last year, Riddick will join other public and private growth company leaders who have driven recent transactions, from IPO to acquisition to private equity investments. Tenable is the Cyber Exposure company and a long-time MAVA growth company member – recently moving to the corporate level with its recent IPO.

Ho Shin, EVP and General Counsel of Yext, will help lead thought-leading discussion on “The Importance of Diversity in Leadership” and the power of diversity in building world-class enterprises. Shin will be joined by a panel of Founders, CEOs, and experts in engineering talent to discuss how market-leading commercial enterprises are embracing diversity and the impact a diverse workforce has on the bottom line.

Tom Dixon, CTO of Yext, will also join the Spring C-Suite Summit program as a co-lead of a closed-door CTO roundtable discussion. This breakout discussion will run simultaneously with CEO, GG, CMO/CRO, and CFO roundtables, and provides an important platform for operators to discuss best practices with a functional peer group of leading executives.

Yext, the leading Digital Knowledge Management platform, recently announced its plans to hire 500 people over the next five years at its new Rosslyn, Virginia location – citing the Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia area as one of the “major hubs for tech talent”.
