ServiceTitan — the parent company of Aspire Software and FieldRoutes — recently named Dave Sherry as its new chief financial officer (CFO).
Sherry has held CFO positions for the past ten years, most recently at QuintoAndar, a Latin American real estate marketplace, and one of the largest technology companies in South America. Prior to that, Sherry served as CFO at Lightspeed, a vertical software company focused on the retail and restaurant industries.
“Dave’s experience in vertical software and scaling successful businesses will be invaluable to our team, and most importantly, our customers,” said Ara Mahdessian, CEO and co-founder of ServiceTitan. “His passion and expertise will be critical as we continue to expand our capabilities to solve the biggest pain points for contractors all across the country. I am thrilled to have him be part of the ServiceTitan team as we take the company into its next phase of growth.”
In his new role, Sherry will focus on evaluating integrations, identifying opportunities for growth in new markets and expanding ServiceTitan’s presence.
“I see so much opportunity in the Trades industry, which I wholeheartedly believe deserves the most advanced software solutions that so many other sectors are already afforded,” said Sherry. “ServiceTitan has the key elements of what makes a great business — authentic, mission-driven founders who genuinely believe that long-term success will come from delivering value to their customers, a high-caliber and highly functioning team and a market ripe for disruption and leadership.”
