Jamf names Beth Tschida as Chief Executive Officer

MINNEAPOLIS - May 20, 2026 - Jamf, the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, today announced the appointment of Beth Tschida as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Tschida, who has served as interim CEO since March 2026 and previously as Jamf's Chief Technology Officer, brings to the role a track record of leading innovation across cloud, security and the Jamf platform.

Tschida succeeds John Strosahl, who led the company through its transition to private ownership following Francisco Partners' acquisition, completed in January 2026. Tschida becomes the first woman to lead the company in its more than 20-year history.

"Over the last eight years, I've had the privilege of working with an exceptional team to build the leading platform for managing and securing Apple at work," said Beth Tschida, Chief Executive Officer at Jamf. "Now, AI is reshaping how organizations work, and we are making AI work on Apple. We're building autonomous management so devices manage themselves within boundaries, opening our platform so others can build AI tools directly with Jamf, and delivering the governance layer to deploy AI confidently. Everything we're doing is built on the trust we've earned over two decades of making Apple simple, secure, and connected at scale. I'm energized by what's ahead."

"Beth has demonstrated exactly the kind of leadership Jamf needs for its next phase of growth," said Brian Decker, Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Francisco Partners. "Her technical depth, operational discipline, and strategic vision make her the right leader to drive Jamf forward. We look forward to working with Beth as she builds on the foundation this team has created and captures the opportunity ahead in Apple enterprise management and security."

"Beth and I have worked together for more than seven years, and I know she's the right person to lead Jamf into its next chapter," said John Strosahl, former Chief Executive Officer at Jamf. "This company is in a healthy position with reaccelerating growth and a strategy that's delivering results. Beth played a central role in getting us here. I'm proud of what this team has accomplished and excited to watch what comes next."
