The board of directors of Alteryx (NYSE: AYX) has chosen its chief financial officer Kevin Rubin as interim successor of former CEO Mark Anderson.
Rubin will serve both roles amid Alteryx’s transition into a private enterprise, the company said Friday.
He has been the software developer’s CFO since April 2016. Prior to that, he took on the same role at companies including MSC Software, now a division of Hexagon, Pictage and DataDirect Networks.
The executive was VP of finance before becoming CFO at MRV Communications. Earlier in his career, he worked at Arthur Andersen & Co. as audit manager.
“With over 20 years of leadership experience in scaling global financial operations for growth companies, including eight as Alteryx’s CFO, Kevin possesses the skills and expertise to lead the Company forward during this transitional period,” remarked Dan Warmenhoven, lead independent director of Alteryx.
In December, Alteryx signed a $4.4 billion deal to be acquired by global private equity firms Clearlake Capital Group and Insight Partners. Its privatization may be completed in the first half of this year, pending customary conditions and clearances.
