Kade Ross

A transformational leader and strategic business partner, Kade has kept Bandwidth at the forefront of continuous growth and digital transformation for over 20 years, from startup to global public company. As Chief Information Officer, he oversees Bandwidth’s information technology, data governance, analytics, service management and security functions.

Kade joined Bandwidth as employee no. 13 in 2002, and he has been an integral part of Bandwidth’s most important milestones ever since. He guided enterprise sales and support for one of Bandwidth’s largest customer accounts, and helped lead the team that successfully built the first iteration of the company’s voice network within nine months. As the company scaled, he held double-hatted roles in IT along with Enterprise Sales, People Services and Facilities management. More recently, he integrated a complex global acquisition and attained the stringent requirements of the ISO 27001:2013 information security management standard across the entire scope of Bandwidth’s global network, APIs, and people and business processes.

Kade has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
