Box Inc. Chief Accounting Officer to Resign Oct 23, 2026

What Happened

• Box Inc. (BOX) announced in an 8-K that Eli Berkovitch, the Company’s Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller, informed the company on September 22, 2026 that he will resign effective October 23, 2026 to pursue other opportunities. The company says his departure was not due to any disagreement over financial reporting, controls, operations, policies or practices.
• Dylan Smith, Box’s cofounder and Chief Financial Officer, will serve as the interim principal accounting officer effective on Mr. Berkovitch’s last day while the company conducts a search for a permanent replacement. Mr. Smith will continue as CFO and principal financial officer.

Key Details

• Interim coverage: Dylan Smith named interim principal accounting officer and will retain CFO/principal financial officer responsibilities.
