Blanchette joins Skyword from NuoDB, a database cloud provider, where he served as Chief Financial Officer.
With more than 20 years experience, Blanchette was also the Chief Financial Officer of Ektron, a cloud provider of web content management software.

Blanchette succeeds Tyler Hoffman who has served as Chief Financial Officer of Skyword since 2010. Hoffman will remain through mid-July to assist with transition and then plans to turn his focus on earlier stage SaaS companies.
”We are grateful to Tyler for the crucial contributions he made during the company’s formative years,” said Gerace.
