Jasper Welcomes Former Dropbox President Timothy Young as CEO

Our team is so proud to welcome Timothy Young, former president of Dropbox, as Jasper’s next chief executive officer. Jasper Co-Founder Dave Rogenmoser announced the decision this week, as well as his plans to remain involved as Jasper’s chairman of the board.

“I am thrilled to join the team at Jasper and help drive further AI adoption across enterprise businesses,” said Timothy Young. “Jasper was one of the first to make AI accessible to go-to-market teams and continues to raise the bar for what enterprises can expect out of this transformational technology. I’m eager to help shape this vision as CEO and lead the company into its next chapter.”

As CEO, Young will draw from his wealth of experience scaling Dropbox to guide Jasper’s entire vision and lead all aspects of the business. His history in product-led growth and research & development will strengthen Jasper’s focus on building solutions that meet the needs of teams within enterprises.

Over the last year, mid-to-large enterprises have become Jasper’s fastest-growing customer segment. Timothy’s experience as the former president of Dropbox and VP of product & engineering for VMware has given him firsthand knowledge of the needs of enterprise businesses, and he has the R&D background in rapidly evolving tech fields to build products that meet those needs. 

He also comes from start-up roots, having founded and sold Socialcast in 2011, which, similar to Jasper’s mission, was aiming to improve the way companies work together. Those shared roots combined with Timothy’s unique enterprise experience stood out to Dave Rogenmoser, who will be transitioning the role to Timothy over the coming month.

Dave led this company for the last two and a half years, from a fledgling idea to one of the fastest-growing startups of all time. We are so grateful for the company he helped build, and for all he’s done for each of us. Moving forward, as Timothy takes on the CEO role, Dave will continue to help drive the company’s growth as chairman of the board.

“I am incredibly proud of the work we have done over the last two and a half years to establish an AI copilot for marketers that is purpose-built to solve the unique challenges their teams face at growing companies,” said Dave Rogenmoser, Jasper founder and CEO for the company’s first two years. “When I met Timothy and saw his work scaling Dropbox and VMware, two companies I admire,  I knew instantly that he’d be the right person to lead Jasper’s next stage.”

Young joins at a pivotal moment for the company. Next month – one year after the company’s $125 million Series A funding announcement – Jasper will introduce its vision for the future of AI, including major product releases in a virtual event.
