Approov Appoints Rex S. Jackson as Independent Chairman to Drive Next Phase of Growth

He succeeds Dr. Lucio Lanza, who has led the board for several years. Dr. Lanza will continue to support the company as a non-executive director.

“Rex is a rare combination of financial, legal and operational leadership, and he knows Approov deeply,” said Ted Miracco, Chief Executive Officer of Approov. “As autonomous AI agents, mobile apps and APIs become the front line of enterprise security, the opportunity ahead of us is enormous. Rex’s experience guiding technology companies through their most consequential phases of growth makes him the ideal independent chairman to help take Approov to the next level.”

“Lucio’s conviction, vision and dedication have shaped Approov from the beginning,” Mr. Miracco continued. “His belief in our technology and our team never wavered, and his fingerprints are on every milestone this company has achieved. We are delighted that the Board will continue to benefit from his counsel.”

“It has been a privilege to chair this Board and to watch Approov define a category,” said Dr. Lucio Lanza. “The question of whether software talking to your APIs is genuine — an authentic app, un-tampered, on a safe device — has never mattered more than it does in the age of AI agents. Rex is precisely the leader to guide Approov’s next chapter, and I look forward to supporting him and Ted from my seat on the Board.”

“Approov solves a problem the entire industry is waking up to: proving what is on the other end of an API call,” said Rex S. Jackson. “I have watched this team build remarkable technology and a business, and I am honored to serve as chairman. I look forward to working with the company to capture the opportunity ahead.”

Approov provides cloud-based security solutions that protect mobile apps and the APIs they connect to. Its technology ensures that only genuine, unmodified apps running in secure environments can access enterprise systems, helping block bots, hacked apps, stolen credentials, and unauthorized AI agents.

The company is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, with U.S. operations in Palo Alto, California. Approov works with businesses in industries such as financial services, healthcare, automotive, and other sectors that rely on secure mobile applications.
