The new CFO of Neo4j, Mike Asher, brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles at Chevron, Cisco Systems, and Octane Software. He has worked with high-growth tech startups and has a strong background in finance. Initially skeptical about joining Neo4j due to the company's focus on graph technology, he was convinced by the team's passion, the strength of their product, and the unique blend of Silicon Valley innovation and Swedish employee-centric culture. Asher is optimistic about the future of graph technology in the enterprise, believing it will become increasingly important for companies to manage connected data. In his new role, he aims to operationalize Neo4j's activities, align the distributed team, and drive growth through efficient decision-making and metrics-driven management.
