Tricentis Appoints Sandeep Johri as CEO

Sandeep Johri, former chief operating officer of open-source mobile application development platform Appcelerator, has recently been named CEO of Tricentis.

Tricentis enables organizations to quickly deploy applications without hampering the quality of the application, and thus preventing a negative impact on revenue and customer expectations. This is done through identifying the most critical components of an application, which include risk, accuracy, visibility and control.

As CEO, Johri will assist the company in developing innovative and automated enterprise software testing solutions, as well as increase awareness and adoption of already proven solutions. According to Tricentis co-founder and chief sales officer Franz Fuchsberger, Johri was chosen for his "excellent track record of acquiring customers and growing revenue."

Johri will bring more than 25 years of experience to his new role. In addition to working at Appcelerator, he has served as an executive at HP, where he helped turn it into a $3.5-billion software business. He has also co-founded and been CEO of identity management solutions provider Oblix, and created two security startups that have since been acquired by VMware. Presently, Johri is a board member of Indian music streaming service Dhingana, and application and mobile testing company Cenzic.

"We welcome Sandeep's leadership to Tricentis," Wolfgang Platz, founder and chief product officer at Tricentis, said in a statement. "His domain expertise, results-oriented approach and ability to think strategically -- combined with our recent multi-million financing by ViewPoint Capital Partners to accelerate global growth -- will play a pivotal role in extending our track record of innovation, while furthering our leadership in the industry."

Johri is the latest addition in the Tricentis family. In May, Karl Werner was appointed the company's vice president of sales for EMEA. Werner has more than two decades of sophisticated sales and management experience, including serving as managing director for CA Software Austria and country manager for HP Software and Solutions for General Western Europe.
