Rightworks, the leading intelligent cloud service provider for accounting firms and professionals, has appointed Anjan Bagchee as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Gayle Nixon as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). These strategic hires strengthen Rightworks’ cybersecurity leadership and marketing capabilities as the company scales to deliver secure, innovative solutions to over 70,000 businesses and accounting firms.
In an era of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats and rapid market evolution, Rightworks is investing in executive talent to protect client data and accelerate growth while maintaining its position as the trusted cloud partner for accounting professionals.
Anjan Bagchee joins Rightworks with decades of experience leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity programs across FinTech, federal, and high-compliance sectors. Most recently as CISO at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, he directed enterprise security strategy, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and emerging AI governance initiatives supporting national-scale financial infrastructure.
His prior roles at SS&C Intralinks, BNY Mellon, and EnerNOC include protecting cloud platforms, SaaS environments, and large-scale technology systems, with proven success in incident response, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) in regulated industries.
"Anjan's deep expertise in cybersecurity strategy and his rare combination of technical acumen and executive leadership enable him to translate complex security challenges into clear organizational priorities that protect businesses and the people who depend on them," said Ian Williams, Chief Executive Officer at Rightworks. "In an era where cyberthreats are growing more sophisticated, and the stakes for accounting firms and their clients have never been higher, he brings an external, customer perspective that will further ensure that Rightworks develops solutions ahead of threats."
Gayle Nixon brings a strong track record of building scalable marketing organizations that fuel customer acquisition, expansion, and brand leadership. Most recently as CMO at COMPLY, she led go-to-market strategy and product launches to enter new FinTech markets. At Litera Microsystems, she transformed global marketing, boosted visibility, and aligned strategy across acquisitions during private equity transitions.
Her earlier leadership roles at SS&C Intralinks, Rocket Software, and Harte Hanks Trillium Software further demonstrate her ability to align marketing with sales, product, and customer success for profitable growth.
"Gayle brings an exceptional ability to build and scale high-performing marketing organizations that elevate brand presence and drive measurable growth. Her strategic vision and customer-first mindset will be instrumental as we expand our market reach, strengthen our voice in the industry, and deepen engagement with our customers," added Williams.
These appointments mark a key step in Rightworks’ evolution, reinforcing its commitment to security excellence, brand strength, and delivering unified, secure cloud solutions that empower accounting firms to focus on client value.
