Redwood Software Expands Leadership Team to Propel Future Growth Strategy

Redwood Software Strengthens Leadership Team

Redwood Software™, a leader in comprehensive automation solutions for critical business processes, has recently announced significant changes in its leadership structure. The appointment of new senior executives, including Billy Newman as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Jason Kehl as Senior Vice President of Engineering, and Sahil Shah as Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Business Development, signals the company's commitment to drive its next growth phase.

Strategic Appointments for Growth

The addition of these seasoned professionals underscores Redwood Software's ambition to scale operations, deepen innovation, and strategically position itself for long-term growth amid rising market demands for its solutions, particularly its flagship enterprise automation platform, RunMyJobs with SAP certification.

Billy Newman, with over 25 years of experience in leading financial roles within high-growth SaaS companies, steps into the CFO position. He previously held the CFO role at Cvent where he played a pivotal part in scaling revenue from $150 million to nearly $1 billion. His experience in handling complex public and private transactions, notably leading the company’s acquisition by Blackstone for $4.6 billion in 2023, brings a wealth of financial insight to Redwood. In his new role, Newman will focus on refining the financial strategy and operations to support the company's rapid growth and escalating client demand.

Jason Kehl joins from Vectra AI, where he spent ten years spearheading engineering and data science initiatives for leading AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. His previous experience includes a notable engineering leadership role at Cisco, focusing on security products. At Redwood, he will oversee the development of next-generation scalable automation products that coordinate critical business applications and processes, integrating current systems with emerging AI technologies.

Sahil Shah, boasting a robust 20-plus year background in strategic alliances, will be responsible for shaping Redwood's global partnerships. His previous tenure at SAP involved crafting the initial cloud strategy and developing multiple business units that generated significant revenue. At Redwood, Shah's focus will be on nurturing relationships with key strategic partners and enhancing the company’s presence in the ERP landscape.

Enhancing Automation Solutions

Kevin Greene, CEO of Redwood Software, expressed confidence in the caliber of talent the company is attracting. “These appointments reflect our ongoing investment in people, AI, and scalability. Our clients and partners look to us as leaders in the future of enterprise automation,” he stated.

This leadership enhancement comes as Redwood has launched various innovative solutions, including Redwood Insights, an AI-based observability layer for workload automation, and an AI-driven documentation assistant. Recognition in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAP) as a leader demonstrates Redwood’s robust capabilities in delivering automation solutions, securing its status as a trusted partner for SAP-centric enterprises.

Since its acquisition by Vista Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus, Redwood Software has aggressively expanded its workforce and market reach, establishing itself as a modern automation platform designed for scale and resilience.
