On replacing him, Mitchell said that he was 'looking forward to building on the innovation that Alex Yoder brought to the organization'.

Davis (pictured) joins from mobile ecommerce tech firm Tocata where he was CEO, prior to which he served as CEO of web analytics business Coremetrics, prior to its acquisition by IBM in 2010. Before this, he held senior roles at PeopleSoft, in the eBusiness division of Nortel Networks and in the CRM division at Remedy.

Mitchell, who continues to serve as an Operating Partner at private equity firm Francisco Partners and as a Webtrends' Board Director, commented on the appointment: 'During this time of transformation and growth in digital marketing, there is no better person to lead Webtrends than Joe Davis. He brings a wealth of experience in the web analytics and digital marketing space and we are very fortunate to bring him on to the team.'
