Infoblox Appoints Scott Harrell to CEO
January 2023 by Marc Jacob
Infoblox Inc. announced that Jesper Andersen has decided to retire as Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors has appointed Scott Harrell as the new President and Chief Executive Officer. Andersen will continue to serve on the Board and support Harrell through the transition.
Harrell brings strong executive leadership and portfolio management experience having spent two decades in leadership roles at Cisco Systems and Intel. Prior to joining Infoblox, Harrell was the Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cisco’s $20 billion Intent Based Networking business unit where he oversaw the entire portfolio and engineering teams across the enterprise, IoT and data center markets. He has an MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flaglar Business School, and a bachelor’s in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Vista Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus, Infoblox investors, have thoughtfully selected Harrell as Andersen’s successor.
Harrell joins Infoblox at a critical time where more and more enterprises are embracing a remote workforce and multi-cloud strategies – both of which drastically increase DNS management complexities and security challenges.
Over the past decade, Infoblox has experienced expansive growth, including growing its customer base by 82%, growing its partner relationships by 43% and more than doubling its employee base, all while taking its technology solutions to innovative new heights.
Jesper’s continued passion and dedication for employees has fostered a very strong, collaborative culture, and one that continues to attract top talent and executives like Harrell.
