LOUISVILLE, Colo. \u2013 Jan. 11, 2022 \u2013 <\/strong>JumpCloud<\/a> today introduced Anita Sands<\/a> as the newest member of its board of directors. A renowned public and private company director, Sands brings over two decades of investment and operations experience, including her role as COO at UBS’s Wealth Management Americas group. Sands also serves on the boards at ServiceNow, Nubank, Unqork, and a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company)\u00a0 sponsored by the SoftBank Vision Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnita\u2019s experience with high-growth companies and their executive leaders in scaling and defining new markets is essential to JumpCloud,\u201d said Rajat Bhargava, CEO, JumpCloud. \u201cOur customers and the market are validating that only a directory can serve as the backbone for everything IT admins have to do to secure and manage distributed workforces and the apps and data they need to access. Anita has a wealth of insights into disruptive technologies and approaches, and is already contributing those insights to shape what we\u2019re developing, how we\u2019re growing, and how we can continue delivering more and better for our customers every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT is undergoing a seismic shift as legacy systems for managing users and resources prove inflexible and expensive.  Many legacy systems require complicated architectures to simply meet basic needs of hybrid-remote work and cloud-forward businesses, and organizations are forced to adapt by integrating suboptimal workarounds. Some businesses are bound by an on-premise, legacy directory and must extend it with multiple standalone solutions like single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and device management. Others, who are wary of vendor lock-in, or are all too aware of the limitations of Active Directory, attempt to manage users without a directory and are forced to juggle dozens of individual systems to connect employees to resources. JumpCloud\u2019s directory platform eliminates all those hassles and shortcomings with a single, simple tool for securely managing heterogeneous applications, devices, and user identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToo many organizations limit their own growth due to inertia, sticking with inefficient and costly solutions because of a legacy mindset,\u201d said Sands. \u201cJumpCloud is positioned perfectly to disrupt this paradigm, by making its cloud directory the foundational tool for securely connecting employees to whatever resource they need to do their job, no matter what device they\u2019re using or where they\u2019re logging in from. JumpCloud doesn\u2019t just enable organizations to offer remote and hybrid work, it offers a singular tool that powers all of IT without burdening users or the admins managing it.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former Fulbright scholar, Sands holds a master\u2019s degree in public policy and management as well as a doctorate in atomic and molecular physics. In addition to her board work, Sands was the 2021 James Wei Visiting Professor in Entrepreneurship at Princeton University, where she taught Female Entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sands\u2019 appointment follows a series of growth, product, and financial milestones for JumpCloud, including its $225M Series F funding round,<\/a> key<\/a> executive hires<\/a>, continued industry validation<\/a>, and channel program<\/a> expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
