senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer.
"Mr. Durham brings to Acxiom many years of executive-level public

disciplines," Morgan said. "Mr. Durham's industry contacts and
cross-functional skills will complement the Acxiom board's experience,
and we look forward to working with him."
