RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital.ai, which helps the world’s most complex organizations deliver trusted software at AI speed, today announced that Earl Fry has joined its Board of Directors. Fry spent 16 years at Informatica, including 15 as chief financial officer, and has chaired the audit committees of three public companies.

“For more than two decades, Digital.ai has governed software delivery and protected applications for the world’s largest enterprises,” said Derek Holt, CEO of Digital.ai. “Now AI is changing how software gets delivered, and it’s fundamentally changing the economics and scale of attacks. Earl has led companies through market expansion and disruption like this one from both sides of the business, as a CFO and as a chief customer officer, and that experience will be instrumental as we lead our customers through it.”

“Digital.ai is at a very interesting and important juncture in its history, with AI and Agents rapidly disrupting how software is developed, tested, deployed, and protected,” said Fry. “With a strong, balanced executive team and a loyal, blue-chip customer base, Digital.ai is poised to capitalize on that change. I’m excited to help the company move quickly.”

At Informatica, Fry served as chief financial officer for 15 years, helping grow the company’s market capitalization from under $1 billion to over $5 billion, and was named Institutional Investor’s software CFO of the year five consecutive years.
