Wilson will oversee all finance and accounting responsibilities, including business planning and budgeting of strategic initiatives, as the company further expands its globally distributed edge computing platform.
“We are always innovating, always evolving at StackPath and Keith joining our leadership team will provide the expertise necessary to get us to the next level,” said Kip Turco, StackPath CEO. “In addition to being an accomplished CFO, Keith has been a banker, a strategic advisor, and a key business architect with extensive board experience.
