Analysis · FATN · Technology
FatPipe replaced CFO Eric Sherb with Kanishka Ragula, the 25-year-old son of CEO Ragula Bhaskar and President/CTO Sanchaita Datta. The appointment puts a family member in the principal financial officer role at a company that recently raised capital via a $10M ATM and reported declining cash in its last 10-Q. The outgoing CFO will stay on as a consultant, which the company frames as an orderly transition. The related-party nature of the hire and the new CFO's limited operating experience are the key governance considerations for investors.
