Barbara Larson joined Workiva as EVP and CFO in January after using the company's financial reporting platform at previous employers including Workday and VMware. She brings over 20 years of financial leadership experience, most recently serving as CFO at SentinelOne. Workiva, which offers an AI-powered platform for governance, risk and compliance, reported $885 million in revenue for fiscal 2025, up 20% year-over-year. The company expects to reach $1 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026, with guidance between $1.036 billion and $1.040 billion. Larson emphasized the importance of reliable data for AI implementation, noting that fragmented systems accelerate wrong answers rather than insights. She's focused on driving AI adoption whilst maintaining profitability, having delivered 600 basis points of non-GAAP operating leverage alongside revenue growth in fiscal 2025.
