Mr. Strosahl will also join Jamf’s Board of Directors, concurrently with his appointment to Chief Executive Officer.

“John’s performance as our President and Chief Operating Officer has been spectacular. In his nearly 8-year tenure at Jamf, he has led the team to budget overachievement more consistently than I’ve seen in my 34-year career,” said Mr. Hager. “John’s incredible global experience, alongside his scientific approach to strategy and building a team, makes him the perfect fit to lead Jamf as the only company in the world to offer a complete management and security solution for the Apple-first enterprise.”

Since joining Jamf, Mr. Strosahl has made an incredible impact on the business. Mr. Strosahl drove Jamf’s shift from perpetual license revenue to recurring subscription revenue which helped drive consistent predictable Jamf growth. Mr. Strosahl has also helped Jamf expand and build its presence to over 120 countries, significantly diversifying revenue sources and expanding Jamf’s total addressable market.

“I thank Dean for his mentorship and leadership over the past 8 years, and I look forward to continue working with him closely as part of the Jamf Board of Directors,” said Strosahl. “I am honored to take on this new role as Jamf’s Chief Executive Officer, as we continue to help organizations manage and secure Apple at work, providing a technology experience that users love and secure access that organizations trust.”

Prior to Jamf, Mr. Strosahl was a VP at eBay, responsible for the B2C revenue organization across all verticals in North America.

“I could not be more proud of what the Jamf team has accomplished together for Jamf Nation. Having the privilege to work with Jamf’s selfless, hard-working and fun-loving 2,700-person team has been the highlight of my career,” said Hager. “I look forward to seeing John continue improving the Jamf platform and business in order to help more and more customers succeed with consumer-simple, enterprise-secure technology.”
