Michael Davis Appointed as CEO and Michael Stanfield Named CMO

Mathnasium, an international franchise leader in math tutoring, has added Michael Davis as Chief Executive Officer and Michael Stanfield as Chief Marketing Officer.

Davis joined Mathnasium in July after spending the last 12 years in C-suite leadership roles for private equity-owned companies. Most recently, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of Valpak, a franchised network. His focus throughout his career has been on growth, driven by product or service enhancements, pricing strategies, marketing excellence and customer service. Davis has led B2B and B2C companies in various industries, including multi-unit franchising, eCommerce/DTC/3PL and media.

"It's an honor to be part of the Mathnasium family and to further its mission of changing children's lives through math," Davis said. "The chance to bring the Mathnasium Method to more children is an exhilarating opportunity for Michael, myself and the entire Mathnasium network."

Joining Davis to further strengthen the brand's global reputation and reach as the most trusted company providing math-only supplemental education, is Michael Stanfield, who was named Chief Marketing Officer in September.

Stanfield's previous roles include VP of Marketing for Starkey Hearing Technologies and Head of Marketing for Miracle-Ear, a franchise system with over 1500 locations in the United States. Previously, he held various leadership roles in marketing strategy and planning at Target for nearly nine years.

"Mathnasium's curriculum and teaching have the power to change lives for students and their parents. I'm excited to work with the franchise owners, center directors and instructors who get to see these transformations happen in their own communities," said Stanfield. "I'm looking forward to connecting even more people with our outstanding content."
