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.
