New Smarsh CEO Kim Crawford Goodman appears to be building out her executive team with two new faces in the mix in the chief financial officer and chief people and diversity officer roles.
Mike Cagle was named CFO and Leander LeSure was named chief people and diversity officer. These appointments come just months after Crawford Goodman took over the top job in June.
“As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve and our company's growth accelerates, it is essential that we have a leadership team that has proven experience with (software-as-a-service) solutions for the financial services and regtech industries,” she said in a written statement. “These additions reinforce Smarsh and our unique position to help organizations manage internal risk, meet their compliance obligations and leverage the growing volume of in-house digital communications to their advantage.”
Cagle, who will be based out of Atlanta, was most recently vice president of financial planning and analysis at Veeam Software, which is a SaaS company in the enterprise backup and recovery space. He has more than 20 years' experience in finance and strategy at private equity-backed companies in the financial and software industries.
LeSure, who will be based out of Chicago, has been in human resources for more than 20 years and his resume includes Herman Miller, Getty Images, Western Union and American Express. He is also a U.S. Navy veteran.
Smarsh makes software capturing and archiving digital communications. The company’s customers are typically in regulated industries that must keep communication records. Smarsh has more than 6,500 customers globally including nine of the top 10 multinational investment banks.
The company has 971 employees with about 240 based in the Portland headquarters.
