Automox
Automox is a cloud-native IT automation and endpoint management company that helps organizations patch, configure, and secure Windows, macOS, and Linux devices from a single platform. Founded in 2015 in Boulder, Colorado, its agent-based, server-free approach automates patch management and vulnerability remediation across distributed fleets, and its Otto generative-AI assistant lets IT teams build automation scripts (Worklets) in plain language. The company serves more than 1,500 customers across 30-plus countries and has raised roughly $154 million, including a $110 million Series C led by Insight Partners in 2021.
Justin Talerico
Justin Talerico is the CEO of Automox, a Boulder, Colorado company building cloud-native autonomous endpoint management software. He stepped into the top job in May 2025 after four years as the company's chief marketing officer, a stretch in which he helped quadruple growth. A lifelong builder who started coding at age nine, Talerico co-founded the interactive content platform ion interactive in 2007 and sold it to ScribbleLive in 2017, and later held leadership roles at Linux Academy and A Cloud Guru. He and his wife Anna run Beacon9, a SaaS best-practices advisory.
NinjaOne
NinjaOne is an Austin-based software company that makes an automated, cloud-native endpoint management platform used by IT teams and managed service providers to monitor, secure, patch, back up and control laptops, servers, mobile devices and SaaS data from a single console. Founded in 2013 as NinjaRMM, it now serves more than 30,000 customers and manages over 5 million endpoints, and in 2025 raised $500 million in Series C extensions at a $5 billion valuation while remaining founder-led and debt-free.
Tanium
Tanium is a privately held cybersecurity and systems-management company that built its business on a simple, stubborn idea: you should be able to ask a question of every computer in a large organization and get an accurate answer in seconds. Its Converged Endpoint Management (XEM) platform uses a peer-to-peer 'linear chain' architecture to query and control millions of endpoints in near real time, collapsing the gap between security teams and IT operations. Founded in 2007 by BigFix veterans David and Orion Hindawi, Tanium now secures more than 33 million endpoints for dozens of Fortune 500 companies, major banks, retailers, and government defense agencies, and is pushing into autonomous, AI-driven IT operations with products like Tanium Atlas.
Dan Streetman
Dan Streetman is the CEO and Board Member of Tanium, the enterprise cybersecurity and autonomous endpoint management company. A West Point graduate, Harvard MBA, and Bronze Star-decorated Army Ranger, Streetman brings military-grade discipline to enterprise security — leading Tanium's push into AI-powered autonomous IT operations for the world's largest organizations. Before Tanium, he drove double-digit growth as CEO at TIBCO Software and Allvue Systems, and held senior leadership at BMC Software, Salesforce, and C3.ai.
Jed Ayres
Jed Ayres is the CEO of ControlUp, the $1B+ autonomous IT platform that executes over 14 million automated remediations per week across 6 million enterprise endpoints. A 20-year veteran of the end-user computing industry, Ayres has an unusual track record: he's joined companies in transformation, then handed them to acquirers. He turned IGEL from a hardware vendor into a software-first powerhouse that sold to TA Associates, scaled AppSense to an Thoma Bravo acquisition, and helped MCPc grow to $300M+ before it was acquired by Logicalis. At ControlUp since August 2023, he's steering the company's evolution from Digital Employee Experience (DEX) to what he calls a generational shift in IT - self-healing, AI-driven autonomous endpoint management. Off the clock, he completes Ironman triathlons and ultramarathons, which explains a lot about his leadership style.
