Canvas, the global leader in mobile apps for businesses, today announced that Marc Rubin has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer.<br /><br />Rubin brings to Canvas more than 20 years of financial and operational management experience, with a proven track record guiding startups and technology companies through aggressive growth and expansion, including many rounds of venture capital financings. Marc has served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer at several well-known and successful fast growth technology companies in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Sequoia Software (IPO; Acquired by Citrix), Sourcefire (IPO; Acquired by Cisco), and Rovion (Acquired by Gannett).

This is a result of Marc’s ability to not only perform traditional CFO functions, but also to provide the cross-functional support fast growth companies such as Canvas benefit immensely from, such as day-to-day operations, HR and marketing,” said James Quigley, co-founder and chief executive officer. “We feel extremely fortunate to have Marc as a part of our management team, and Canvas will benefit greatly from his insights and expertise.”<br /><br />Most recently, Marc was the founding partner of ArcPoint Partners, providing outsourced finance, accounting, and HR services to tech startups across New York, Silicon Valley, and the Mid-Atlantic.
