Assaf Zipori replaces Mark Schwartz as Chief Financial Officer at Markforged

3D printer specialist Markforged announced that Mark Schwartz will step down as chief financial officer, effective May 15. Schwartz will remain with the company in an advisory capacity until July 15 to ensure a smooth transition. Assaf Zipori, Markforged’s senior vice president of strategy & corporate development, will assume the role of acting chief financial officer while the company searches for a new chief financial officer.

“Since joining Markforged, Mark has made a significant contribution to the company. With his support and leadership, Markforged went public through its merger with one in July 2021 and built a high-performing team. He leaves the company in a strong position to continue to execute on our strategic plan, and I wish him all the success in his future endeavors,” said Shai Terem, Markforged’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“It has been an honor to have helped see Markforged through a period of significant transformation and to build the infrastructure needed to operate as a public company. I’m extremely proud of the entire team at Markforged and look forward to watching the company’s continued success and to supporting Assaf during the transition,” said Mark Schwartz.

Zipori, who has been with Markforged for more than three years, will serve in an interim capacity.

“Assaf is well-prepared to support us in this key position, having previously served as Markforged’s Acting CFO and leading our financial team prior to the company’s merger with one. He is a pivotal part of our leadership team, and I’m extremely confident that the company is in good hands with Assaf temporarily assuming this expanded role,” said Terem.
