Pax8 names Avery Moon as chief technology officer

Pax8 named Avery Moon as chief technology officer and assigned him to translate the company’s product-led vision into engineering strategy and execution; he reports to Scott Chasin.

The company described its Marketplace as AI-driven and said it linked partners, vendors, and small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) through AI-powered insights and product support, and reported a global partner ecosystem of over 47,000 managed service providers.

Pax8 described plans for Moon to define and execute the company’s engineering vision and strategy and to accelerate the transformation of its product-led approach; the organization also outlined an objective to evolve the Pax8 Marketplace into an Operating System (OS) for the intelligent Server Message Block (SMB).

Prior to joining Pax8, Moon held senior engineering and science leadership roles at LinkedIn, Wealthfront, Climate, Indeed, and Bayer; he led efforts that scaled companies through Intelligent Power Optimizer (IPO) or acquisition four times, grew revenue to over $1 billion twice, and delivered products used by more than one billion customers globally. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Arizona with degrees in industrial and computational mathematics, economics, and business administration, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. He enjoys global travel and outdoor activities, including hiking and skiing with Healthcare Information System (HIS) family.

“I am confident that Avery will imagine, innovate and deliver on the strategy we have set in motion as an AI-driven Marketplace that empowers small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs),” said Chasin. “Avery will be instrumental in evolving the Pax8 Marketplace into the new operating system for the intelligent SMB. His track record of success and leadership has proven he’s the perfect fit and will drive Pax8 to new levels of success globally.” “Pax8’s vision for where the industry is headed, and a corresponding strategy to deliver scalable managed intelligence, inspires and energizes me. We are now at the productivity inflection point for AI, where intelligence is shifting from being embedded in tools to being delivered through autonomous, outcome-driven systems,” said Moon. “I’m thrilled to join Pax8 to continue the momentum and technical prowess built over the last decade to deliver the most effective and efficient infrastructure to empower SMBs and managed intelligence providers (MIPs).”
