Technology company nCino has a new leader.
The company said in a press release that Sean Desmond had become its president and CEO and had joined its board. Desmond, who was chief product officer, succeeded Pierre Naudé, who will remain executive chairman.
“After a thoughtful board-led succession planning process and robust search that thoroughly assessed a large and diverse pool of external and internal candidates, we are confident Sean is the right leader to guide nCino forward,” Pamela Kilday, nCino’s lead independent director, said in the release.
“His extensive knowledge of all key facets of our business, paired with his experience scaling large, multi-national organizations, and forward-thinking approach to product innovation through data and AI, will help nCino capture new market opportunities and drive meaningful growth,” she added.
Chris Gifford, who was executive director and general manager of nCino commercial banking, succeeded Desmond and chief product officer.
