Smarsh has strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Kamesh Tumsi as chief product officer and the formal confirmation of Ian Goodkind as chief financial officer, as the company accelerates its AI-led product strategy and global expansion.
In addition, long-standing executive Goutam Nadella has transitioned into the role of chief strategy officer to focus on long-term growth initiatives.
Smarsh provides technology that enables organisations in highly regulated industries to manage, analyse, and extract value from digital communications data. Its platform supports financial institutions, government bodies, and other regulated firms by helping them meet complex compliance obligations, manage risk, and gain actionable insights from vast volumes of communications across channels. As regulatory scrutiny increases and data volumes grow, Smarsh has positioned its platform as a core infrastructure layer for compliance, supervision, and intelligence.
As chief product officer, Kamesh Tumsi is responsible for leading Smarsh’s global product roadmap and aligning product, engineering, and go-to-market teams. His remit includes embedding generative AI and advanced machine learning capabilities across the platform. Ian Goodkind, now formally appointed as CFO following an interim period, will continue to oversee the company’s financial strategy, governance, and operational discipline to support sustainable growth. Meanwhile, Goutam Nadella will concentrate on strategy, partnerships, and market expansion as chief strategy officer.
Tumsi brings experience in building and scaling regulated technology platforms, having most recently served as senior vice president and head of product at HealthEquity. Goodkind previously held the CFO role at Jamf, where he guided the company through its 2020 initial public offering, bringing public-market and high-growth SaaS experience to Smarsh’s leadership team. Nadella has spent the past four years shaping Smarsh’s platform vision, providing continuity as the company evolves its strategy.
The leadership changes reflect Smarsh’s focus on execution, innovation, and readiness for increasingly complex regulatory environments. By strengthening both its product and finance leadership, the company aims to move faster in delivering AI-powered risk management and data intelligence capabilities while maintaining trust with customers, investors, and regulators.
Smarsh CEO Kim Crawford Goodman said, “These leadership additions are about delivering more value to our customers—faster. Our customers depend on Smarsh to help them stay compliant, informed, and ahead of change. By strengthening our leadership team with seasoned operators, we’re accelerating innovation, sharpening execution, and ensuring we continue to meet our customers’ most critical needs.”
Crawford Goodman added, “Our customers’ challenges are evolving quickly, and so must we. With these new leadership additions, Smarsh is well positioned to move faster, execute with greater precision, and continue delivering the innovation and reliability our customers expect. I’m excited about what this team will accomplish together.”
