Yext Talks: Julie Richardson, Board of Directors, Yext

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting Julie Richardson, a member of Yext's Board of Directors and Chair of Yext's Audit Committee, for a YextTalks. In conversation with Yext's own Pat Farley (Senior Director, Internal Audit) and Ali Penny (Senior Director of Account Management, Partner), Richardson spoke about her service on the board, as well as the importance of gender diversity in both technology and leadership positions.

When asked what attracted her to Yext, Richardson explained how Yext was built to scale successfully. As the company grows and diversifies, the board will be part of that journey — something that she is excited to participate in.

"Take risks in your career that allow for your breakthroughs," she said.
