Inc. (NYSE: EFX) has announced the promotion of Lisa M. Nelson to President of Equifax
International, reporting directly to CEO Mark W. Begor, and serving on the company's
senior leadership team.
An established business leader within Equifax, Nelson has held
roles of increasing responsibility since 2011, with a significant
track record of successfully positioning regions for growth. In her
current role as Group Managing Director of Equifax
Australia/New Zealand, a critical
market for Equifax, Nelson has focused on driving comprehensive
transformation, deepening customer relationships, and designing
innovative new products to meet customer's needs. In her
prior role as president of Equifax Canada, she also accelerated
growth and innovation, nearly tripling its growth rate while
expanding margin results. Nelson joined the company in 2011
as Vice President of Enterprise Alliances for the US
business. In that role, she developed and expanded robust new
partner distribution channels and drove strong core growth.
"Lisa is an impressive global leader who is laser focused on
customers, driving growth, and developing her team," said
Mark Begor, Equifax CEO. "She is a
strong, authentic leader with a proven track record of inspiring
teams to achieve results and deliver for our customers. Lisa has
clearly demonstrated her ability to develop and deliver on
strategic priorities and drive core growth in two significant
regions within Equifax. I am energized to have her leading
our International team."
In her role as President of International, Nelson will be
responsible for leading the company's footprint outside the U.S. in
five regions and 23 countries, including Canada, Latin
America, Europe,
Australia/New Zealand, India and other emerging markets. A diverse
global business by region, her primary focus will be on advancing
and leveraging the Equifax cloud technology transformation for
growth, and building new product and innovation pipelines to
accelerate revenues.
Equifax also announced that Melanie
Cochrane will replace Nelson as Group Managing Director of
Equifax Australia/New Zealand
based in Sydney. Cochrane joins Equifax after a very
successful career with American Express where she most recently
served as General Manager of Merchant Services for Asia Pacific. Previously, she led Corporate
Payments in the region and the American Express Global Digital
Services Transformation Program.
"Melanie brings a wealth of financial services experience
developed during her career spanning Australia, the US, and Asia," said Lisa M.
Nelson, President of International, Equifax. "She is a
growth-focused leader who has led both B2B and B2C businesses. Her
experience in transformation, innovation and customer experience
will prove invaluable as we complete our cloud transformation in
Australia/New Zealand, accelerate innovation and grow
with our customers."
Cochrane excels in collaborative leadership with an ability to
work closely with strategic business partners and customer
leadership while successfully leading and developing large teams.
She has been a driver of inclusion and diversity, having founded
the American Express PRIDE network and acted as a Gender Diversity
