After making changes to top leadership earlier this summer — including its CEO as well as its president — Copart announced on Tuesday that David Berger has joined its board of directors in a move that was effective last Thursday.

According to a company news release, Berger currently serves as a senior partner of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm where he has practiced since 1989 and has served as a partner for more than 20 years.

Berger’s practice focuses on corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and shareholder activism. He has held a number of leadership positions at the firm, including service on its board of directors, as chair of its policy committee, and on the board of the firm’s venture capital fund.

Berger has also served as president of the American College of Governance Counsel since May 2023.

Furthermore, Berger currently serves as a director of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, where he chairs its Nominating and Governance Committee.

And also, since 2023, Berger has served as co-chair of the annual Rome Conference on AI, Ethics and Governance held at the Vatican as well as a director of various non-profit organizations.

“We are pleased to welcome David Berger to Copart’s board of directors,” Copart CEO Jay Adair said in the news release. “David brings exceptional experience in corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and complex litigation, along with a deep understanding of the issues facing public companies.

“His leadership and expertise will be valuable as Copart continues to grow and create long-term value for our shareholders, customers, employees and communities,” Adair went on to say.
