As part of our continued mission to secure the connected world, we’re proud to welcome two accomplished leaders to the Finite State executive team to continue accelerating Finite State’s global growth.

 

Tim Quock joins as Chief Operating Officer

Tim brings an exceptional track record of scaling security companies through critical growth phases with solutions widely adopted by Fortune 1000 organizations. Prior to joining Finite State, Tim served as VP Finance at Horizon3.ai, a leader in autonomous security, where he scaled the business through rapid expansion and led multiple financing rounds. Before that, Tim served as VP Finance at Mattermost, a secure messaging platform, supporting their expansion into US Federal and Enterprise cloud adoption. Earlier in his career, he played a key role at Fastly building the financial and operational foundation ahead of their IPO. 

At Finite State, Tim will lead operations, finance, and people, establishing the scalable teams and functions we need as we expand globally and support increasingly complex customer and regulatory requirements.

 

Beth Linker joins as Chief Product Officer

Beth is a veteran cybersecurity product leader with a focus on enterprise security software. Most recently, Beth led SAST and AI product strategy at Black Duck (formerly Synopsys Software Integrity Group). They have also held senior product roles at Dell, SecureWorks, and Acquia, with experience in managed security services, email security, and compliance-focused cloud hosting.

At Finite State, Beth will drive product strategy across our platform, ensuring our solutions continue to lead the market in visibility, security, and compliance for connected devices.

 

Why it matters

“Regulation has turned software transparency from ‘nice-to-have’ into a board-level mandate,” said Matt Wyckhouse, CEO of Finite State. Beth and Tim give us the perfect one-two punch: Tim has repeatedly scaled companies through hyper-growth, and Beth has shipped category-defining software security and AI products at global scale. Their expertise lets Finite State meet the accelerating demand for secure, compliant connected device security and compliance solutions—and helps our customers build resilient products that can stand up to the new wave of regulations.”
