Approov names Valley vet Rex Jackson Chairman of Scottish mobile app security leader

Approov today announced the appointment of Rex S. Jackson as independent Chairman of its Board of Directors. Mr. Jackson succeeds Dr. Lucio Lanza, who has been recognized for his years of leadership and who will continue to serve on the Board as a non-executive director.

Mr. Jackson brings more than three decades of executive and board leadership in Silicon Valley technology companies. He has served as Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel across multiple public and private technology companies, most recently as CFO helping lead ChargePoint through its merger and public listing. He currently serves on the board of Terra Innovatum (Nasdaq: NKLR), where he chairs the audit committee and serves on the compensation committees. Mr. Jackson holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School and a B.A. from Duke University.

The company also paid tribute to Dr. Lanza’s tenure.
