Finance leaders are playing an increasingly strategic role in driving business growth, operational efficiency, and long-term innovation across technology companies. As organizations expand AI capabilities and scale operations, experienced financial executives are helping shape corporate strategy while strengthening governance and sustainable growth.
ImageTrend has announced that its Chief Financial Officer, John Wolfenden, has been accepted into the Forbes Finance Council, an invitation-only community of finance executives, investors, and business leaders recognized for their professional achievements and industry expertise.
John Wolfenden was selected for membership in the Forbes Finance Council following an evaluation of his experience leading finance functions across multiple software companies. His professional background includes strengthening financial operations, improving business processes, and supporting organizational growth through strategic financial leadership.
At ImageTrend, Wolfenden oversees the company's finance organization while serving as a strategic partner across the executive leadership team as the company continues expanding its AI-powered software platform for emergency response, healthcare, and public safety organizations.

"John's impact at ImageTrend goes well beyond the finance function," said Joe Graw, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Growth Officer. "He brings financial discipline, commercial perspective and a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to the decisions that shape how we grow and serve our customers. His selection for Forbes Finance Council is well deserved and gives him a valuable platform to share that expertise with other finance leaders."
As a member of the Forbes Finance Council, Wolfenden will collaborate with a network of finance executives and contribute original thought leadership through articles and expert panel discussions published on Forbes.com.
He plans to share practical insights on scaling software companies, strengthening finance operations, and building finance organizations that serve as strategic business partners.
