Jamf names Beth Tschida CEO after $2.2B sale
Jamf appointed chief technology officer Beth Tschida as chief executive effective immediately, ending her interim tenure that began in March.[1]
The Minneapolis-based Apple-software firm was acquired by Francisco Partners in a roughly $2.2 billion deal that closed Jan. 30, 2026.[1] Company leaders said Tschida will steer Jamf's post-acquisition growth and operational priorities.[1]
Jamf employs about 2,345 people globally, including more than 350 in its Minneapolis office, and has cut roughly 160-170 jobs in each of two layoff rounds over the past two years. As chief technology officer, Tschida oversaw security-related annual recurring revenue that grew 40% year over year and rose to more than 30% of Jamf's total revenue. The company narrowed its Q3 2025 operating loss to $3.4 million from $15.9 million a year earlier but, as a newly private company, it no longer discloses full financial results.
