Lexipol, a leading provider of solutions supporting public safety readiness, has appointed Jack Blaha as chief executive officer. Blaha succeeds William “Bill” Nunan, who is retiring.
“Jack brings a proven track record of leading and scaling software platforms in complex, highly regulated markets, and we’re excited to welcome him to the Lexipol leadership team,” said Mark Anderson, Lexipol board member and managing director at GTCR, Lexipol’s private equity partner.
“Collectively, his experience in vertical software and his service-oriented background position him well to lead Lexipol through its next phase of growth in support of public safety professionals nationwide,” Anderson added in a statement.
Blaha brings decades of experience leading vertical software and technology-enabled services companies. Most recently, he served as CEO of Cendyn, a hospitality technology company that provides revenue-optimization software to hotels and resorts.
Previously, Blaha served as CEO of several private equity-backed software businesses, including Khoros, a customer engagement platform for consumer brands; Lone Wolf Technologies, a Dallas-based provider of front- and back-office workflow solutions for residential real estate brokerages; and PeopleAdmin, a workforce management software provider serving K-12 and higher education institutions. He has also held senior leadership roles at Aptean and Applied Materials.
Earlier in his career, Blaha served as a captain in the U.S. Army after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
“Lexipol has built an exceptional platform that serves first responders and local government professionals with mission-critical solutions,” Blaha said. “I’m honored to join the team and excited to execute on the company’s valuable mission by investing in our products, our people, and the first responders who rely on Lexipol every day.”
Blaha’s appointment underscores Lexipol’s commitment to growing its platform and providing public safety leaders with the tools, insights, and support they need to lead with confidence, make informed decisions, and build a culture of readiness, the company said.
