    Industry veteran with track record of driving innovation at scale across multiple enterprise technology companies to accelerate next chapter of growth

    Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced the appointment of Chirantan "CJ" Desai as President of Product & Engineering to further accelerate the company's next phase of growth to $5 billion in annual recurring revenue and beyond. Desai's 25+ years of experience spans product innovation, go-to-market strategies, and operational efficiency—all key in building high-performing teams and driving sustained business growth at scale.

    Desai most recently served as President and Chief Operating Officer at ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW), overseeing ServiceNow's products, platform, design, AI research, engineering, customer support, and cloud infrastructure operations as well as customer success. Joining ServiceNow in December 2016 as Chief Product Officer before being promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer in January 2022, Desai helped scale the company from $1.5 billion to more than $10 billion in annualized revenue during his tenure.

    "CJ's track record of driving innovation, operational excellence, and customer-centric growth speaks for itself and makes him an ideal fit for Cloudflare as we continue to scale our company and push the boundaries of what's possible," said Matthew Prince, co-founder & CEO at Cloudflare. "Just this year, we've brought on some of the best and brightest executives in the world. They could go just about anywhere, but they believe Cloudflare is the next iconic technology company. They're betting their careers on Cloudflare and joining us to further accelerate our growth. I look forward to working with CJ as we continue to scale our research and development organization for the next chapter of our business."

    "I have always believed in the power of technology to make our work and personal lives better and safer. Cloudflare's vision for world-class innovation and its commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers align with my own passion for driving transformation and growth," said CJ Desai, President of Product & Engineering at Cloudflare. "I look forward to working together with the incredibly talented team at Cloudflare to advance our mission of helping to build a better Internet, all while delivering best-in-class solutions that drive meaningful business outcomes for our customers."

    Cloudflare's Strong Leadership Team Momentum in 2024:

    In a significant year for leadership appointments at Cloudflare, Desai comes to the company just months after other prominent world-class executives changed course in their careers to help accelerate the company's next chapter of growth at scale.

    In February 2024, Cloudflare announced the appointment of Mark Anderson, as President of Revenue. Anderson most recently served as the CEO of Alteryx and brings 25+ years of experience building high performing teams and scaling revenue at multiple enterprise technology companies. He also served on Cloudflare's Board of Directors before joining the company. Prior to his role at Alteryx, Anderson was instrumental in scaling Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) from pre-IPO to more than $2.5 billion in annualized revenue and also oversaw all sales activities at F5 Networks, where he helped grow the company's annual revenue to more than $1 billion.

    In March 2024, Cloudflare announced the appointment of its first-ever Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Cohen. With more than two decades of experience from Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS), Cohen was brought on to play an integral role increasing the breadth and depth of Cloudflare's presence in boardrooms and in the C-suite, supporting Cloudflare's growth to $5 billion in annual recurring revenue and beyond.
