John Sapone

Prior to NinjaOne, Sapone led some of the most successful high growth sales teams in the history of enterprise technology. Most recently, as Senior Vice President of Sales at Snowflake, Sapone led a team of hundreds that took the business from $1 billion to $4 billion in revenue. As VP of Sales for Commercial and Emerging Markets at ServiceNow, Sapone was brought in to build a new business unit that reached $1 billion in revenue. Before ServiceNow, Sapone served in revenue leadership roles at a variety of pre-IPO and high growth companies – including as VP of Sales at Nimble Storage, where he helped the company through a successful IPO, and as VP of Sales at Data Domain, which is now part of Dell EMC.

“NinjaOne has completely disrupted the endpoint management market, and we’re growing thoughtfully to continue to exceed our customers’ needs,�� said Sal Sferlazza, CEO and co-founder at NinjaOne. “John’s servant style leadership and deep expertise from ServiceNow, Snowflake, and other top enterprise companies, are perfect for NinjaOne and will help us continue to increase productivity, reduce risks, and lower IT costs for our existing and future customers. Dean Yeck has built a world-class sales team and as Chief Commercial Officer, he’ll partner closely with John to continue to build on the company’s momentum.”

“The opportunity at NinjaOne is unlike anything I've seen in my career. The number of endpoints organizations use to propel their business is skyrocketing, which means automating endpoint management has never been more essential,” said Sapone. “The company’s founder-led, passionate culture and unmatched dedication to customer success are clear differentiators for NinjaOne. I look forward to working with my fellow Ninjas and our partners to help our customers become more profitable, productive, secure, and efficient.”

Sapone’s appointment comes on the heels of NinjaOne announcing a $5 billion valuation and $500 million in Series C extensions that will drive research and development focused on autonomous endpoint management, autonomous patching and vulnerability remediation, and expanded IT use cases that improve employee experiences with devices.
