Former Forescout executive Criss Harms takes
financial reins at digital analytics leader
Following its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 earnings
report today, digital analytics platform leader Amplitude, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AMPL) has appointed former Forescout executive Christopher
(“Criss”) Harms as the company’s next chief financial officer
(CFO). The news comes as current CFO Hoang Vuong plans to
transition from the company. Vuong will remain at Amplitude in the
interim to ensure a seamless handover.
“Over the past four years Hoang has been instrumental to our
growth and success. From our Series D funding to our direct
listing, he helped guide our company from a startup to an
enterprise market leader. On behalf of our entire team, we thank
him for all of his work and wish him the best,” said Amplitude
co-founder and CEO Spenser Skates.
“As we enter our next stage of growth, I believe Criss is the
perfect successor. He has a strong track record as a public company
CFO, and I respect how he navigated Forescout’s maturity journey
after it entered the public markets. I look forward to working
closely with him as we continue on our mission to help companies
build amazing products, drive growth, and win their
categories.”
With more than 30 years of experience in finance, Harms will
oversee Amplitude’s global Business Partners organization, which
includes finance, accounting, operations, legal, and IT. In
addition to technology finance expertise, he brings a deep
background in strategy, operational excellence, and communications
with capital markets.
Prior to Amplitude, Harms spent seven years as CFO of Silicon
Valley-based security company Forescout Technologies. He has also
held financial roles at Socialware, IBM, British Telecom, and HP.
Harms currently serves as a board member for Slice and WorkBoard,
Inc. A licensed Certified Public Accountant, he also holds an MBA
and a B.S. in accounting and finance from the Haas School of
Business at UC Berkeley.
“I am bullish on Amplitude’s opportunity in the year ahead and
beyond,” said Harms. “More and more organizations see product-led
growth as fundamental to their interactions with their customers,
and they recognize that digital analytics is a must-have. Amplitude
remains uniquely positioned to help customers unlock the power of
their products. The strength of Amplitude’s platform combined with
the quality of its team made this an opportunity I could not pass
up.”
