Canva Hires Kelly Steckelberg as CFO

Canva has appointed Kelly Steckelberg as its Chief Financial Officer, following a 10-month vacancy. Steckelberg, who previously served as CFO at Zoom and oversaw its IPO in 2019, is expected to guide Canva towards a public offering in the next two years. Canva, recently valued at $32 billion, is a key competitor to Adobe and is generating approximately $2.5 billion in annual revenue with 220 million monthly users. Despite a decline from its peak valuation of $40 billion in 2021, Canva is seen as a strong candidate for an IPO amid a recent uptick in tech company listings. Steckelberg's experience is viewed as critical as the company navigates its potential public launch. She will officially begin her role at Canva on November 26, 2024.
