Summary

This month, I was named as the new CEO of Cloudsmith, a software supply chain platform company. I'm joining Alan Carson and Lee Skillen to build the world's most powerful software supply chain platform. The transition has been underway since August 21, when I joined Cloudsmith's HQ in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I've spent the past month meeting Cloudsmithers, customers, and investors, as well as having long talks with Alan about his journey as founding CEO. As former Chief Customer Officer at Twilio, I understand the need for a deep stack of dependencies and the complexity of building and deploying software. Cloudsmith aims to control what comes in and what goes out, providing observability, security scanning, license checking, performance monitoring, and other value-added services to CI/CD pipelines. The company is built from the ground up as a massive scale, multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS), making it a big reason I've chosen to join. Cloudsmith is poised to displace seemingly comfortable incumbents with its innovative approach, delivering global scale and innovating faster.
