Egnyte, a cloud content security and governance solution vendor, has announced the appointment of Ravi Chopra as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In this role, Chopra leads all aspects of finance and legal.
“After recently crossing the US$160 million annual recurring revenue milestone, fuelled by accelerating demand for our security and compliance offerings, we are pleased to welcome another executive with deep cybersecurity experience to our leadership ranks,” said Vineet Jain, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Egnyte. “Additionally, as we watch closely what happens in the broader environment, Ravi will be instrumental in guiding Egnyte through our next stage of exciting growth.”
Prior to joining Egnyte, Chopra worked at BugCrowd where he led the company’s financial strategy. Before BugCrowd, Chopra built a finance team from the ground up as the CFO of SonicWall, a cybersecurity company he helped create as an independent company post divestiture from Dell. In that role, he helped lead the company to high growth and profitability, enabling multiple recapitalisations that delivered solid returns for shareholders.
“Now is the perfect time to join Egnyte, which has an impressive assemblage of passionate people taking the company to the next phase of growth, and a great product portfolio to help organisations protect their data on any device, anywhere,” said Chopra.
Prior to joining SonicWall, Chopra was Group CFO for Juniper Networks, and held senior finance positions at Cisco Systems, Deloitte Consulting and Lazard, an investment bank.
Chopra earned his MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, a master’s in Finance from Delhi University, and a bachelor’s in Economics from St. Stephens College, Delhi University, India.
