NinjaOne has introduced the NinjaOne CxO Advisory Board with three inaugural members; Mike Anderson, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Netskope, Nick Colisto, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Avery Dennison, and John Collier, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Wawa.

The CxO Advisory Board was specifically designed to ensure the success of NinjaOne customers and partners as they grow. While the voice of the customer is the driving force behind NinjaOne’s product roadmap, the Advisory Board adds a new dimension of feedback to research and development, go-to-market strategy, and other programs in order to ensure the NinjaOne vision scales with the company’s growing base of MSP and IT customers.

Mike Anderson brings over 25 years of experience to his role as Chief Digital and Information Officer for Netskope, having built and led high-performing teams across a wide range of disciplines, including sales, operations, business development, and information technology.

Nick Colisto is the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Avery Dennison, where he is responsible for driving and executing an enterprise IT strategy for the company. Nick guides the overall company strategy with respect to information technology trends, driving efficiencies across the organization, and improving the delivery of IT services and products to the business.

John Collier is the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Wawa, Inc., where he leads the company’s Information Technology team. John is responsible for establishing the overall strategic direction for Wawa’s expanding technology and business services and leads technology strategy, development, implementation, and operational investments for Wawa.

“CIOs and CTOs have complex jobs that work across all aspects of a business and a wide range of people and roles. We believe the CxO Advisory Board adds a new layer of business feedback to help NinjaOne stay ahead of IT needs and ensure our customers and partners remain wildly successful as they grow their businesses,” said Mike Arrowsmith, Chief Trust Officer at NinjaOne. “John, Mike, and Nick have diverse, complementary backgrounds and have already added value to how we help customers automate the hardest parts of IT. I’m excited to work more with them.”

The introduction of the CxO Advisory Board comes on the heels of significant growth for NinjaOne. In the last year, NinjaOne:

• Announced a $231.5 million Series C funding round led ICONIQ Growth, which fuels customer success, product innovation, and company growth.

• Introduced a new partner program, NinjaOne Now, to drive growth for partners and success for customers.

• Launched mobile device management (MDM) to increase customers’ productivity and reduce complexity, risk, and cost for IT teams by managing mobile devices and endpoints within a single console.

• Announced free Warranty Tracking for all MSP customers, free Documentation for any MSP customer up to three users, and white-glove Professional Services to help large MSPs move technology stacks without impacting their business.

• Introduced product integrations with industry leaders like Bitdefender, CrowdStrike, HaloPSA, and SentinelOne to improve customers’ security, productivity, and efficiency.

• Won the SC Award for Best Customer Service and received a 5-Star Rating in the CRN Partner Program Guide, highlighting the company’s commitment to customer and partner success.
