He reports to Thomas Seifert, CFO, and will work with the leadership team to develop and implement strategies. ‘As an influential software analyst, [Thomas] has worked alongside institutional investors to develop investment strategies for software companies and with issuers to execute successful capital markets transactions,’ Seifert says.
Winslow served as a managing director at Credit Suisse and was the global head of the software team in the securities research department. He led a team of equity research professionals that spanned the US and Europe.
He has more than two decades of capital markets experience and brings with him a background in financial modeling and data-driven operational analysis, as well as knowledge of the technology industry.
Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare, says the $14.5 bn IT company developed a relationship with Winslow over several years before the search for a new vice president of IR began.
Commenting on his new position, Winslow says he is proud to join the team and contribute to the company’s continued growth: ‘I look forward to working with the leadership team and the entire Cloudflare community to drive long-term value for all of our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders.’
