– USA, CO – JumpCloud today announced the appointment of Dr. Anita Sands (Ph.D.) to its board of directors, bringing over two decades of investment and operations experience.
“Anita’s experience with high-growth companies and their executive leaders in scaling and defining new markets is essential to JumpCloud,” said CEO, Rajat Bhargava. “Our customers and the market are validating that only a directory can serve as the backbone for everything IT admins have to do to secure and manage distributed workforces and the apps and data they need to access. Anita has a wealth of insights into disruptive technologies and approaches, and is already contributing those insights to shape what we’re developing, how we’re growing, and how we can continue delivering more and better for our customers every day.”
Her appointment follows a series of growth, product, and financial milestones for JumpCloud, including its $225M Series F funding round, key executive hires continued industry validation and channel program expansion.
About Anita Sands
A former Fulbright scholar, Sands holds a master’s degree in public policy and management as well as a doctorate in atomic and molecular physics. In addition to her board work, Sands was the 2021 James Wei Visiting Professor in Entrepreneurship at Princeton University, where she taught Female Entrepreneurship.

“Too many organizations limit their own growth due to inertia, sticking with inefficient and costly solutions because of a legacy mindset. JumpCloud is positioned perfectly to disrupt this paradigm, by making its cloud directory the foundational tool for securely connecting employees to whatever resource they need to do their job, no matter what device they’re using or where they’re logging in from. JumpCloud doesn’t just enable organizations to offer remote and hybrid work, it offers a singular tool that powers all of IT without burdening users or the admins managing it,” said Anita Sands.
