Arrowsmith
NinjaOne, the unified IT operations platform for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT departments, has hired Mike Arrowsmith as its new chief trust officer. 
He will report to the chief executive officer Sal Sferlazza and take the lead of all security and IT initiatives for NinjaOne, with early priorities focused on scaling and aligning the company’s internal teams and resources.
With a background in joining organizations at key inflection points, Arrowsmith previously rose the ranks to become head of Splunk’s cyber security program as it became a multi-billion dollar company. Most recently, he served as Head of Information Security of Guardant Health, where he supported the company’s growth from 700 to 1,400 employees. His experience arrives at a critical moment for NinjaOne and the IT software industry, where trust and data security are increasingly becoming the top priority of new customers and partners alike.
“Mike joins NinjaOne as the company comes off a record year of growth, new products, and a rebrand that has fueled our trajectory to market leadership,” said Sferlazza. “We know that security and data privacy are of the utmost importance to our customers, employees, and the public, so we created this role to reflect our ongoing commitment to and investment in security. Mike’s proven ability to lead high-growth teams and develop robust security standards makes him the perfect fit for NinjaOne at this moment. We’re proud to welcome him to the team.”
Arrowsmith’s first priorities will be to evaluate NinjaOne’s cybersecurity, IT, and DevOps infrastructure to ensure the company can scale while meeting the demands of modern customers. He will also play a significant role in hiring and expanding these teams, which are expected to double this year.
