Aspire Software is pleased to announce that Tom Bogan, vice chairman of corporate development at Workday, has joined the company’s board of directors. As the board’s sixth member, Tom brings over 40 years of experience in finance and leadership to Aspire.
Tom began his career as a financial officer in both public and private companies, eventually landing in the software industry. He joined Workday, an enterprise management system, in 2018 through the acquisition of Adaptive Insights, where he had served as CEO. The result of this union—Workday Adaptive Planning—is used by companies that want to stay agile by eliminating manual spreadsheets and clunky legacy systems.
Prior to joining Adaptive Insights, Tom was a board member for several software companies, including Citrix Systems and Apptio, where he also served as chairman. As a partner at Greylock Partners, he focused on enterprise software investments. Earlier in his career, Tom served as president and CEO at Rational Software, which was eventually acquired by IBM, and he was also the CEO for Avatar Technologies and Pacific Data. He has served as a board member for over 15 organizations throughout his career.
“We’re honored to have Tom join our board of directors,” says Mark Tipton, CEO of Aspire Software. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team, and we are very fortunate to have him.”
Tom’s strong background in the software industry—as well as his passion for corporate development—will help Aspire Software continue to anticipate and respond to emerging business trends and market opportunities.
“I’m looking forward to working with Aspire,” Tom says. “This is a company that really lives by its values and has a history of creating impactful, industry-leading software solutions. I’m excited to see where we go next.”
