"I'm energized to welcome Barbara as a new independent director on our board," said Mark W. Begor, CEO of Equifax. "Her more than two decades of financial leadership and extensive experience in both human capital management and enterprise technology will be a tremendous asset to Equifax as we execute against our EFX2026 strategic priorities – continuing to grow our non-mortgage business through Equifax Cloud-based new product and EFX.AI innovation."
Larson will serve on the board's Audit Committee. With this appointment, the Equifax board now consists of ten directors, including nine independent directors.
