Actabl today announced the appointment of Susan Walker as Chief Financial Officer, bringing more than 30 years of finance and business strategy experience to the company as it helps hotel leaders use trusted data and artificial intelligence to improve financial performance.
Walker most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Stack Overflow. She previously held CFO roles at Jumio, Digital Guardian, and Avention, and served as CFO and Chief Operating Officer of Telestream. Previously, she helped lead Aspen Aerogels through its initial public offering, and began her career as a technology equity analyst at J.P. Morgan.
“We are thrilled Susan chose to join Actabl,” said Steven Moore, CEO of Actabl. “She is an exceptional finance leader and operator who immediately understood both the strength of the company and the opportunity ahead. She moves with pace, shares our values, and is a wonderful fit for our culture. Her perspective will be invaluable as we build Actabl’s next chapter.”
Actabl brings together business intelligence, labor management, guest service, and asset management capabilities. Its products help hotel companies understand what is happening across their portfolios, act while it still matters, and measure the financial impact.
“Based in Silicon Valley, I have a front-row seat to how quickly AI is reshaping business,” said Walker. “I looked at a range of companies, and Actabl stood out as one positioned to win with AI because its products already underpin financial decisions and day-to-day operations for hotel companies. I know as a CFO what it means to need confidence in your numbers and access to them the moment a question comes up. Hotel company leaders are facing real margin pressure, and the opportunity to help them make better decisions is what brought me here.”
As CFO, Walker will lead Actabl’s finance organization and partner with leaders across the company on investment and strategic priorities.
Walker holds an MBA from the Wharton School and a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics and economics from the University of California, Berkeley. She has been recognized as CFO of the Year by the Boston Business Journal.
