SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axiad, a leading provider of organization-wide passwordless orchestration, today announced that Silicon Valley veteran Jon Skoglund has joined the company as chief financial officer (CFO).

As CFO, Skoglund will ensure that Axiad puts optimal infrastructure and processes in place as it scales for continued upward growth in the fast-growing identity security space.

He joined Axiad from Anomali, where he successfully helped build the company infrastructure as it scaled for strategic growth. Jon previously served as CFO at ShareThis and Axcient, to name a few, and has held various progressive financial positions at companies such as Intuitive Surgical, SGI, KPMG, and National Semiconductor. He holds an MBA from Santa Clara University.

“Axiad has a proven, trusted management and engineering team that are aligned for innovation and expansion, which attracted me to this role. This is a meaningful time as the company moves to the next phase of its growth, and I look forward to fortifying Axiad’s financial operations as we prepare to take advantage of possible organic and inorganic growth,” said Skoglund.
