Amit Mathradas, a longtime tech leader and former Avalara president, is joining Bellevue, Wash.-based workflow automation company Nintex as its new CEO.
A company spokesperson confirmed the news to GeekWire. Mathradas will start the new role April 3.
Mathradas joined tax software giant Avalara in 2019 and was also its chief operating officer.
Avalara, which went public in 2018, was acquired late last year by Vista Equity Partners in a $8.4 billion deal. The company reportedly went through layoffs in January.
Mathradas also led PayPal’s small business segment and spent 14 years at Dell. He’ll replace Eric Johnson, who led Nintex as CEO for the past five years. Johnson is leaving the company but will remain a senior advisor to TPG Capital, the private equity giant that bought a majority stake in Nintex in 2021.
Founded in 2006, Nintex has 10,000 customers, including more than 50% of the Fortune 500.
