Davis served as Shopzilla's president and chief executive officer from 1999 to June, 2005 (when it was acquired by the E.W. Scripps Company for $569 million). Under Davis' leadership, Shopzilla was one of the first companies to spearhead a search engine cost-per-click model, transforming the way retailers market their products online.

Prior to joining Shopzilla, Davis was president, e-Commerce for The Walt Disney Company's Internet Group where he launched profitable merchant and travel businesses including Disneystore.com and Disneyvacations.com, comprised of all theme park and travel businesses. Davis also managed all Disney Internet advertising sales, marketing, and online subscription initiatives from 1996-1998.

Davis' move to e-commerce was a natural evolution from his previous direct marketing and publishing experience at News Corporation's TV Guide. As senior vice president, Marketing, Davis directed the consumer marketing and circulation groups for America's then-largest magazine. While at News Corp, he also launched The Weekly Standard magazine and oversaw the Murdoch Magazines' Distribution Division. Previous to News Corp, Davis worked at Time Inc.'s Sports Illustrated from 1986-1991 where he led the magazine's direct marketing, television, and retention efforts.

He serves as Director on several boards, including Business.com, LeadPoint, Inc., and the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), Los Angeles Chapter. In 2004, he won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in Los Angeles.
