Lehi, Utah - July 7, 2025
Pattern announced today the appointment of Sue Taylor, former Chief Accounting Officer at Meta and LinkedIn, and Ann Mather, former CFO of Pixar and current Netflix board member, to its Board of Directors. Their appointments expand the board from five to seven members and underscore Pattern’s ambitions to deepen its leadership bench with top-tier financial and technology experience.
Sue Taylor brings decades of operational and financial leadership at some of the world’s largest tech platforms. At Meta and LinkedIn, she was instrumental in scaling internal financial systems to support rapid global expansion. She currently serves on the boards of Pure Storage and KLA, further extending her reach in enterprise and cloud technologies.
“I am excited to join Pattern’s Board of Directors and work alongside a talented team dedicated to transforming the ecommerce industry,” said Taylor. “Pattern’s commitment to innovation and excellence aligns with my passion for driving impactful change.”
Ann Mather offers a similarly deep pedigree. In addition to her CFO tenure at Pixar Animation Studios, where she helped position the company for its acquisition by Disney, Mather has served on boards across Silicon Valley and Hollywood—including Netflix, Bumble, Alphabet, Airbnb, Arista Networks, MGM Studios, and Zappos. Her experience spans sectors undergoing profound digital transformation, from entertainment and ecommerce to cloud infrastructure.
“Pattern’s dedication to innovation and empowering brands in the ecommerce space resonates deeply with my own professional values,” said Mather. “I look forward to joining Pattern’s board and helping drive strategic growth in this rapidly evolving industry.”
Pattern works with hundreds of global consumer brands to grow their ecommerce presence across marketplaces, DTC channels, and international markets. The Lehi-based company has raised over $275 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins, KSV Global, and TCV. The company positions itself as an end-to-end solution for ecommerce expansion, offering logistics, digital marketing, marketplace management, and global distribution capabilities. At its recent Accelerate Summit, Pattern unveiled a suite of AI-powered tools designed to help brands adapt to the rapid shift in consumer behavior—from traditional search to AI-driven discovery. These tools include GEO Scorecard, Chessboard, TrendVision, and The Portal, each addressing a key aspect of how brands can stay competitive in a digital retail landscape increasingly shaped by platforms like ChatGPT, TikTok, and Instagram.
“With the addition of Sue and Ann, we’ve brought two of the most respected minds in finance and technology into our corner,” said Dave Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Pattern. “Their experience helping companies scale, go public, and lead in hyper-competitive markets will be instrumental as we accelerate our own global growth.”
