Requirements
  • 8+ years in product management with at least 3 years in business-to-business enterprise software in cybersecurity or an adjacent area.
  • You must be comfortable working with complex technical products.
  • Domain experience in security-adjacent products. You’ve worked on products where security, compliance, or risk management is a core part of the value proposition—not just a feature.
  • Market intelligence as a core skill. You’re a strong researcher and synthesizer who can take a messy landscape of customer conversations, competitive moves, usage data, and regulatory shifts and turn it into a clear, actionable picture that an engineer can read and act on.
  • AI aptitude. Our team uses AI for research, content generation, synthesis, and analysis. You’ve built AI capabilities in your products and used AI to automate product work with repeatable feedback loops.
  • Strong communication skills. As a fully remote organization using AI to accelerate, we rely on clear written communication and data to make decisions.
  • GTM partnership mindset. You understand how product decisions connect to revenue.
Responsibilities
  • Own a product area end-to-end. Understand customer and market needs, define the key outcomes and metrics for product and customer success, steer our development teams to build the right things, and measure the results.
  • Be the expert on your domain. Develop deep understanding of the product security assurance challenges that our customers are tackling.
  • Automate your job. Use AI automation to ensure that we always have the latest data driving our product decisions.
  • Own product messaging for customers and the market. Support our go-to-market organization with useful and relevant product information as we ship new and improved capabilities.
  • Build across software and services. Our combination of software and services is key to our success. Partner with our services team to deliver the best outcomes for customers.

Finite State appoints Ann Miller to scale product security and software supply chain strategy.

Finite State appoints Ann Miller to scale product security and software supply chain strategy. April 07, 2026 Finite State, a vendor of product security and software supply chain risk management, announced the appointment of Ann Miller as vice president of marketing. Miller brings more than 15 years of experience scaling high-growth technology companies, with deep expertise in cybersecurity and AI-driven platforms, and turning emerging technologies into market-defining categories. Miller joins Finite State at a pivotal moment as enterprises face increasing pressure to secure software embedded across critical infrastructure, connected devices, and regulated environments. Her appointment underscores the company's commitment to defining the future of product security through data, automation, and AI. "Ann has a proven track record of building category-defining marketing engines in cybersecurity," said Matt Wyckhouse, CEO of Finite State. "Her ability to translate complex, technical innovation into market leadership will be instrumental as we accelerate our growth and expand our position in product security." Prior to joining Finite State, Miller led marketing at Horizon3.ai, where she helped scale the company from early-stage to thousands of customers, driving rapid market adoption. During her tenure, Horizon3.ai was recognized as the #1 fastest-growing cybersecurity company on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list and established leadership in autonomous security testing. Earlier in her career, she held strategic roles at Cylance, a pioneer in AI-driven endpoint security, and iboss, a leader in cloud security. "Product security is quickly becoming one of the most critical and under-addressed challenges in cybersecurity," said Miller. "What impressed me about Finite State is what they've built. It's an AI-native platform that automates product security end to end, from deep binary analysis through prioritization and remediation across the software supply chain. That's incredibly hard to do, and has been a key driver in building trust across their customer base." Miller will lead all aspects of marketing, including branding, demand generation, product marketing, and go-to-market strategy. She is the latest expansion of the Finite State executive team, following the February 2026 appointment of Sharon Hagi as chief security officer, and January 2026 appointment of Chris Overton as executive vice president of engineering. Hagi brings more than 30 years of experience building and operating security programs across semiconductors, IoT, embedded systems, AI-enabled platforms, and cloud environments. Leading Finite State's Security and Services organization, Hagi ensures execution, customer outcomes, and operational excellence. Overton brings more than 20 years of engineering leadership experience. He drives Finite State's engineering innovation at a critical stage of the company's growth, as device manufacturers face increasing pressure to ship faster while meeting requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and other emerging security mandates. Last May, Finite State expanded its executive team with the appointments of Tim Quock as chief operating officer and Beth Linker as chief product officer. The additions come as the company accelerates its global efforts to secure connected systems across critical infrastructure. Quock has a background in guiding security companies through key growth stages, with experience supporting solutions used by Fortune 1000 organizations. Industrial Cyber News Desk
