WSO2 has announced the appointment of Harry Ault as its new Chief Executive Officer, marking a significant step in the company’s growth journey as it expands its presence in the rapidly evolving enterprise technology and AI governance landscape. Ault assumes day-to-day leadership of WSO2 with immediate effect and will work closely with the executive team to strengthen the company’s global market position, deepen customer engagement and accelerate innovation across its product portfolio.
He brings more than two decades of experience in revenue growth, strategic partnerships, corporate development and global go-to-market leadership. Before joining WSO2, Mr Ault served as Chief Revenue Officer at SambaNova Systems, where he led worldwide sales, marketing, field engineering and customer support operations.
Throughout his career, he has played a key role in scaling technology businesses, building high-performance teams and driving growth across international markets. The appointment comes during a period of continued expansion for WSO2. Over the past year, the company has strengthened its leadership team with key appointments in finance and marketing as it advances its vision of trusted AI governance and enterprise transformation.
WSO2 is focused on helping organisations manage increasingly complex digital environments by combining API management, integration, identity, engineering and AI-driven platforms within its Agentic Enterprise Fabric (AEF). The platform is designed to provide enterprises with greater control, governance and security as they adopt AI-powered technologies and autonomous agents.
Jonas Persson, Chairman of the Board, said Ault’s experience in building global teams and driving business growth makes him well suited to lead WSO2 through its next phase of expansion. Harry Ault said WSO2 has built a strong reputation over the past two decades, serving more than 700 enterprise customers worldwide. He added that organisations are increasingly seeking trusted partners that can help them adopt AI technologies without adding complexity, and WSO2 is well positioned to support that transition.
Mr Ault succeeds WSO2 Founder Dr Sanjiva Weerawarana, who stepped down as CEO in May 2026. During the transition period, Chief Revenue Officer Devaka Randeniya served as Acting CEO and will continue to work closely with Mr Ault.
Founded in 2005, WSO2 provides open-source technology platforms that support API management, integration, identity and AI-driven enterprise applications. The company operates across multiple global markets, with offices in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia, serving enterprises across a wide range of industries.
