Webroot Appoints Vice President of Finance

An executive with more than 15 years of tax and finance experience, Post will oversee the company's entire financial organization including the tax, treasury, accounting, facilities, and financial planning and analysis departments.

Post was most recently director of tax and treasury for Webroot. His promotion followed several significant contributions to the organization, including an instrumental role in the establishment of the company's global operating structure.

"Webroot has grown significantly in the past two years, including the completion of four acquisitions," said Dick Williams, Webroot's CEO. "John has played a key role in enhancing our business processes throughout our continued growth. He has a proven track record for driving successful financial initiatives and operational strategies that deliver high performance results. John will be a strong asset for us as we further solidify our position as a leader in cloud security."

Prior to joining Webroot, Post was vice president of tax at DISH Network and Echostar Corp., where he led the tax function for two separate publicly traded corporations. Prior to that, he was tax director at Molson Coors Brewing Co., and he has also held management roles at First Data Corp. and Deloitte Tax LLP.

Post earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Berkeley.
