Equifax CEO Mark W. Begor to Continue Company Leadership Beyond 2025

Equifax® (NYSE: EFX) today announced that Mark W. Begor will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) beyond the current expiration of his employment agreement in 2025.

“Over the last 6 years, Mark has provided a clear vision and strong, decisive leadership for Equifax. He has delivered strong financial results in the face of challenging economic conditions, growing revenue by 50% since 2018 despite a decline in the mortgage market of 34% in 2022 and 2023 and driving the Equifax market capitalization from $14 billion in 2018 to $33 billion, a CAGR of 14%,” said Mark Feidler, Equifax Chairman of the Board. “Mark and his team have successfully completed an enterprise-wide, more than $1.5 billion Cloud-based technology transformation that they are now leveraging to drive global innovation and growth. The Board of Directors remains confident that he is uniquely positioned to continue to lead the business and drive value for our shareholders.”

Begor joined Equifax in April 2018, and has successfully driven a complete technology transformation that has changed nearly every facet of the company’s infrastructure. This transformation to the Cloud is the largest investment in Equifax history, and is a critical enabler to accelerating innovation, new products and growth for the benefit of customers, consumers and investors. Begor has also expanded Equifax differentiated data assets by investing over $4.5 billion in 25 strategic bolt-on acquisitions since 2018, and under his leadership the company has delivered more than 100 new products each year for four consecutive years with a Vitality Index above 10% since 2022. 

“I am energized now more than ever about the future of the New Equifax and am excited to lead the company as it realizes the benefits of its industry leading Cloud technology investment. Leveraging the power of the Equifax Cloud alongside its differentiated data assets and patented EFX.AI techniques will enable Equifax to help our customers grow from higher performing scores, models, and products,” said Begor. “I am excited to be leading the next chapter of the new Equifax that we expect will deliver higher growth, margin expansion, and expanding free cash flow generation positioning Equifax to accelerate  returning cash to investors and driving shareholder returns.”
