Tim Yost joins BlueVoyant as new Chief Financial Officer

Wed, 12th Jun 2024

Risk management solutions vendor BlueVoyant has officially announced the appointment of Timothy (Tim) Yost as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This strategic hire is expected to bolster BlueVoyant's financial operations and spearhead the next phase of the company's growth.

Yost brings with him nearly three decades of financial leadership and a track record of significant achievements. His most recent role was as CFO of Consilio, a tech-enabled legal services company with revenues exceeding USD $1 billion. Prior to this, he held the CFO position at Axiom Global, another legal services provider where Yost was instrumental in guiding the company through a successful Private Equity transaction. His extensive experience also includes key financial roles at the Corporate Executive Board (CEB), including during its 1999 Initial Public Offering (IPO), after which he served as the company’s CFO for several years.

“Tim has deep experience growing and scaling tech-enabled companies,” said James Rosenthal, CEO and co-founder of BlueVoyant. “We are excited to welcome him to the BlueVoyant team to maximise financial opportunities and lead financial strategy. We have exciting plans for our next phase of growth, and I look forward to having Tim's knowledge and expertise to guide us.”

BlueVoyant, which has established a strong regional presence with offices in Singapore, the Philippines, and Sydney, currently serves over 900 global customers. The company has recently broadened its portfolio by acquiring Conquest Cyber, a cyber defence company renowned for its innovative SaaS technology. BlueVoyant has also been actively integrating advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities into its products, even earning a place on the coveted Microsoft Copilot for Security Design Council.

In his new role, Yost is expected to focus on the company’s financial strategies and plans, aiming to ensure continuous scaling and global expansion. His extensive background in finance and strategic planning is anticipated to provide BlueVoyant with a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.

“I understand what companies like BlueVoyant need as the team continues to transform cyber defence,” said Yost. “BlueVoyant has a proven track record of sustained high growth, and I am excited to help take them to the next level of rapid acceleration and expansion.”

Yost holds a Master of Science in Finance from George Washington University and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Loyola College, qualifications that have underpinned his impressive career in finance and strategic management.
