Brown’s departure follows more than four years as Informatica’s Chief Financial Officer. Brown will remain a consultant to the company through March 31, 2023, to support a seamless transition.
“On behalf of Informatica, I would like to thank Eric for his leadership and stewardship over the past four years,” said Amit Walia, Chief Executive Officer of Informatica. “He played an instrumental role in driving our successful public listing, our transition to a SaaS operating model, and setting the foundation for our leadership in cloud. We wish him well in all future endeavors.”

McLaughlin joins Informatica from FICO, where he has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since August 2019. At FICO, McLaughlin led the global finance team responsible for FICO’s Software and Scores business segments. Prior to FICO, McLaughlin spent 26 years in investment banking, advising leading technology, financial services and real estate companies on a wide range of strategic and financial topics, most recently serving as Managing Director and Head of Technology Corporate Finance at Morgan Stanley. He holds a B.A. from Stanford University and a Masters of Public and Private Management from the Yale School of Management.
Walia continued, "We're thrilled to welcome Michael to the Informatica team. He is a well-rounded and deeply experienced leader with extensive financial experience, and I’m confident that his expertise will help us deliver value for our customers, as we help them tackle their greatest cloud data management challenges, and our shareholders.”
"I am honored to step into this role and to support Informatica’s continued transformation to a cloud-only company,” said McLaughlin. “The company has significant momentum and I look forward to working together with my talented new colleagues to capitalize on the remarkable growth opportunities ahead."
