Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Harness has appointed Bill Koefoed as Chief Financial Officer, strengthening its finance and capital markets bench as the AI software delivery platform scales following a $240 million Series E round that valued the company at $5.5 billion. The move comes as Harness, recently ranked No. 24 on Fortune’s 2026 America’s Most Innovative Companies list, positions itself for the next phase of growth and potential public-market pathways.

Koefoed brings extensive IPO and growth-stage experience, having helped drive OneStream Software from roughly $50 million to more than $700 million in ARR and leading its 2024 initial public offering before the company’s $6.4 billion sale to Hg. His background includes CFO roles at Blue Nile, BCG Digital Ventures, and Puppet Inc., as well as senior finance and investor relations posts at Microsoft, and he currently sits on the boards and audit committees of Bank OZK and Entrata, giving Harness added depth in strategic finance, capital formation, and M&A as it accelerates platform innovation and global expansion in AI-driven software delivery.
