LOUISVILLE, Colo. – Mar. 4, 2020 – JumpCloud® today announced that Greg Keller has been appointed as the company’s new chief technology officer. In addition, the company is announcing the promotions of three of its critical engineering staff, Charley Pinkerton, Jared Cantwell, and Peter Gengler to new roles as chief architects. The appointments are a result of JumpCloud’s extensive product and engineering team scaling in Colorado and its global engineering hubs.
Prior to becoming CTO, Keller served in various executive leadership positions at JumpCloud, including running corporate strategy. Most notably, Keller was responsible for productizing and launching the company’s initial directory service product offering to market in 2014 as its first head of product. Keller is a career product visionary and executive management leader with over two decades of product management, product marketing, and corporate development experience ranging from startups to global organizations.

I am immensely proud to work side by side with these amazing people as we continue to execute on our goals.”
In his new role, Keller will focus on the product’s continued vision and the team’s development to provide increased levels of execution in ideation, partner integration, and delivery to market as the company’s product and engineering teams continue to scale globally.
