OPSWAT Announces New Chief Financial Officer

TAMPA, Fla. — January 29, 2026 — OPSWAT, a prominent name in cybersecurity solutions focusing on critical infrastructure protection (CIP), has officially welcomed Bill Carey as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This strategic appointment is expected to help further enhance OPSWAT's financial governance and strategy as the company pushes forward in its mission to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions worldwide.

Carey takes over the financial leadership from Simon Ho, who has served as CFO since February 2020 and is set to retire. Ho will remain in an advisory role, ensuring a smooth transition as OPSWAT navigates its next stage of growth. Since his arrival at OPSWAT, Ho has been instrumental in establishing a robust financial foundation covering aspects like financial planning, revenue operations, and core financial operations, all vital for the company's global expansion prospects.

Benny Czarny, the Founder and CEO of OPSWAT, expressed confidence in Carey's appointment, highlighting his extensive experience in steering technology companies toward accelerated growth and transformation. "Bill brings extensive leadership experience guiding technology companies through rapid growth and transformation. His proven ability to drive growth with financial discipline and public company experience makes him the right financial leader for OPSWAT," said Czarny.

Before coming to OPSWAT, Carey distinguished himself in his previous role as interim CFO and Chief Accounting Officer at Couchbase. His efforts were pivotal during the company's successful IPO in 2021, overseeing crucial aspects such as financial reporting and compliance necessary for this transition into a publicly traded entity.

Carey expressed enthusiasm about joining OPSWAT, stating, "My core motivation to join OPSWAT is the chance to be part of an amazing story. This story isn't just about growth — it's about a culture of innovation that has consistently moved ahead of the market curve." He emphasized that the critical point in OPSWAT's evolution, as well as the strong fundamentals that the company has in place, makes this an exciting opportunity for him as they prepare for substantial growth.

Carey's academic credentials include a bachelor's degree in accounting from North Carolina State University, providing him with a solid grounding to tackle the financial complexities that come with overseeing a leading cybersecurity firm.
