Timothy Young, a former president of Dropbox Inc., will take over as CEO of Jasper, a startup whose software aids businesses in creating marketing materials after the departure of the current CEO.
The decision, which was made public on Thursday, is intended to assist the business in drawing in more enterprise clients, according to exiting CEO and co-founder Dave Rogenmoser, according to BNN Bloomberg.
Rogenmoser stated that the changeover will take place over the course of the following two months, and he will continue in his role as the company's board chairman.
Young formerly served as vice president of product and engineering at software business VMware Inc. in addition to his position at Dropbox.
Less than a year after Jasper claimed it had secured $125 million from investors at a valuation of $1.5 billion, the Austin-based startup reported in July that it had laid off staff in "a number of roles." Since its 2021 launch, the company has raised a total of $143 million.
Jasper helps organizations with things like writing marketing material and creating visuals for commercials by utilizing artificial intelligence from open-source communities and corporations specializing in AI development. Some of Jasper's clients are VMWare, pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc., and store Anthropologie.
Timothy Young expressed his excitement at joining the Jasper team and contributing to expanding AI usage in corporate enterprises. "Jasper was one of the first to make AI accessible to go-to-market teams and continues to raise the bar for what enterprises can expect out of this transformational technology," he said.

To effortlessly integrate Jasper into new environments where marketers work, the company announced API relationships with Google Workspaces, Webflow, Make.com, and Zapier last month.
