Billy Newman, Chief Financial Officer
Newman brings over 25 years of experience in finance leadership roles at high-growth SaaS companies.

At Redwood, Newman will lead financial strategy and operations to support the company's rapid growth and rising customer demand.
Jason Kehl, Senior Vice President of Engineering
Kehl joins from Vectra AI, where he spent a decade leading engineering and data science efforts for industry-leading, AI-based cybersecurity solutions. Prior, he led a global engineering team at Cisco focused on security, including intrusion prevention, web and email security and application visibility, before becoming Vice President of Engineering at Juniper Networks. At Redwood, Kehl will oversee the development of scalable, next-generation automation products that orchestrate mission-critical applications and business processes across current systems to emerging agentic AI technologies.
Sahil Shah, Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Business Development
With over 20 years in strategic partnerships, Shah has held senior roles at SAP, Icertis and Qualtrics.

He later led ecosystem strategy at Qualtrics, driving partner-sourced revenue that contributed to the company surpassing $1 billion. As SVP of Global Alliances at Icertis, he led the company's strategic partner relationships with Global System Integrators (GSIs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). At Redwood, Shah will lead global partnerships for ERP-driven transformations and strategic Tier-1 channel partners, including GSIs, ISVs and Value-Added Resellers (VARs).
