Apprenda, the leader in enterprise private platform-as-a-service, has added Wayne Boomer as Vice President of Finance and Operations to its executive team reporting to CEO Sinclair Schuller. Boomer will work out of the Clifton Park, N.Y. office.

Recently, Wayne was the CFO and Senior Vice President of Finance for On2 Technologies, a publicly traded software company that designed video codec technology, acquired by Google (News - Alert) in 2010.

Boomer held an integral team role through the acquisition where On2 obtained a 6.5x multiple of revenue increase for the purchase of IP.

"Wayne will be instrumental in Apprenda's strategic operations, increased funding and maaging the company's profit stream for our enterprise customers," said Sinclair Schuller, CEO of Apprenda.

During a five year tenure as CFO and VP of Finance at Inmedius, an international software and services company in Pittsburgh, Boomer was a central part of the executive team responsible for tripling revenue, obtaining yearly growth, and achieving a +20 percent five-year compound annual growth rate. Boeing (News - Alert) acquired Inmedius in 2012.
