Urbint, the leading AI platform for predicting and stopping threats to critical infrastructure and workers, has hired Jaylene Kunze as Chief Financial Officer. Kunze was previously CFO at Uplight, which provides software solutions to 80+ electric and gas utilities, and sold for $1.5 billion in 2021. Jaylene will lead the scaling of Urbint’s finance and operations systems amid the company’s rapid growth.
“Jaylene is one of the energy tech industry’s top CFOs, having built the framework for growth that built one of the most successful verticalized software companies in our sector,” said Corey Capasso, Founder and CEO of Urbint. “Her experience and knowledge of the industry will be transformative for Urbint as we build the operational risk platform of the future.”
