Nitro, the leader in document productivity announced the appointment of Peter Bardwick as chief financial officer. In this role, Bardwick will leverage his extensive financial background to lead Nitro’s accounting and financial operations, including overseeing the financial planning and analysis team, as well as the legal, governance and IT functions.
“Peter is widely recognised as one of the best in his field, bringing a wealth of experience in high-growth start-up environments,” said Sam Chandler, founder and CEO of Nitro. “His extensive knowledge and expertise helped his last company grow at an exceedingly fast pace, and we have no doubt he will bolster our international growth – helping us to transform the way the world works with documents in the cloud.”

In his most recent role as CFO at Rocket Fuel, he led the company in the third most successful IPO of 2013 and increased revenue from $40 million to $400 million in just three years during his tenure.

“This is an extremely exciting time to join Nitro,” said Bardwick. “With a proven, successful offering and huge potential for growth, I jumped at the chance to get involved. I am delighted to join such an innovative team during a pivotal time in which customers are clamoring to take the ‘paper’ out of ‘paperwork.’ With Nitro’s track record of product innovation and fiscal discipline, I’m eager to help accelerate growth while continuing to keep an eye on the bottom line.
