Israeli cybersecurity company SentinelOne has appointed David Bernhardt as its new CFO. Bernhardt served most recently as Vice President of Finance for publicly traded SaaS-based education platform company Chegg, where he defined and executed the financial strategy for the company’s IPO in 2013 and growth thereafter, helping raise over $2 billion in subsequent offerings.

Prior to Chegg, Bernhardt served as Vice President, Finance and Corporate Controller for Palantir Technologies, which recently filed for IPO.

SentinelOne hasn't confirmed that it plans to do an IPO in the near future, but the company isn't ruling out that it might consider doing one over the next 12 months. SentinelOne is coming off a $200 million Series E funding at a valuation of $1.1 billion and should it complete an IPO its value is expected to increase considerably.
