Cindy is currently a board member of Destination Pet and serves on the Board of Trustees for William & Mary, Mason School of Business.

Prior to that, she was EVP and Chief Digital Marketing Officer for L Brands where she drove innovative digital marketing solutions to engage customers across Victoria’s Secret lingerie, PINK, and Victoria’s Secret Beauty. At Disney ABC Television Group, Davis devised omnichannel strategies to deepen audience engagement as EVP Consumer Experience. Earlier executive leadership roles focused on elevating customer insights for business decision-making as EVP, Global Customer Insights and Analytics for Walmart, and EVP, Membership, Marketing and eCommerce for Sam’s Club where she also launched its first mobile app. Davis’ earlier brand experiences span VP and SVP roles at Yum! Brands, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Hilton Worldwide, and Caesars Entertainment Corporation.
