Asana Announces Board Appointments
Dan Rogers to Serve as Both CEO and Board Chair; Dustin Moskovitz to Continue as a Board Director
AI and Enterprise Software Leaders Jerry Ting and Tom Berquist Join as Directors
New Additions Bring Proven Expertise in Cutting-Edge AI Product Innovation and Decades of Experience Scaling Software Businesses
SAN FRANCISCO - Monday, September 28, 2026 - Asana, Inc. (NYSE: ASAN), the operating system for human-agent teams, today announced that Dan Rogers has been appointed Board Chair, a role he will hold in addition to Chief Executive Officer, effective September 25, 2026. The company also announced the appointments of Jerry Ting and Tom Berquist as Directors, effective the same date. Asana co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, who has served as Board Chair since 2019, will remain on the Board as a Director and intends to maintain his shareholdings in Asana, reflective of his view that the company is positioned for long-term growth. Krista Anderson-Copperman will remain Lead Independent Director.
"The Board is excited to welcome the valuable knowledge and expertise of our new Chair and Directors as Asana continues to forge a new era in the company's history,” said Anderson-Copperman. “Dan has shown exceptional leadership since joining the company as CEO, and we look forward to benefiting from his experience and perspective in leading the Board and driving this next phase of growth. Dustin’s strategic vision will continue to guide our strategy, while outside of Asana he plans to invest time in broader AI safety initiatives. We are also excited to welcome Jerry and Tom to the Board. Respectively they bring over a decade of innovation in AI products and experience scaling enterprise tech businesses.”
“Over the past year, Dan has demonstrated outstanding leadership at a key moment in Asana’s evolution,” said Moskovitz. “He has accelerated our product roadmap, driven Asana's evolution into a multi-product company, and put us at the forefront of how humans and agents work together. This progress has given all of us on the Board great confidence in Dan, the team, the strategy they are pursuing, and their ability to execute against it. As a founder, director and long-term shareholder, I am deeply committed to Asana’s mission and long-term success and look forward to continuing to support Dan and the company.”
Ting and Berquist join Asana as the company advances its multi-product strategy with the launch of Agentic Work Management and Agentic Apps that expand Asana into new workflows and buying centers, reinforcing its strategy to bring humans and agents together with the shared context and governance that the agentic era requires.
Ting is a serial entrepreneur and executive at the intersection of enterprise software and applied AI. He founded Evisort, an AI-native contract intelligence platform, in 2016 with a research team from Harvard and MIT and scaled it into a category leader. Evisort raised more than $155 million in venture funding from investors before Workday acquired the company in 2024.
Following Workday’s acquisition, Ting served as Vice President and General Manager of AI and Agents at Workday, where he built the company’s central AI organization, Agent Factory, and led AI product and engineering. Ting is also a venture investor and advisor to startup companies, and has backed more than 25 early-stage technology companies, having taught entrepreneurship and innovation as a Lecturer at Harvard Law School.
“Businesses are not looking for more AI pilots. They need ROI, real outcomes, and real efficiencies - and Asana has the platform to deliver them. Asana is extremely well positioned to make agents incredibly effective across a company’s cross-functional workflows, with complete business context and proper guardrails. I look forward to helping advise Asana in its quest to become a core part of customers’ broader agentic enterprise strategy,” said Ting.
Berquist has nearly 20 years of executive leadership across enterprise software, along with a decade as Managing Director of Software Equity Research at Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Piper Sandler. He most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Cloud Software Group. Before the merger of Citrix Systems and TIBCO Software, he served as Chief Financial Officer of TIBCO Software for seven years.
Previously, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Saba Software and Alludo and as Chief Financial Officer of Alludo and Actian. Berquist currently serves on the Board of Directors of Qualys, Inc. where he chairs the Audit Committee, and as a value accelerator advisor to the Goldman Sachs Asset Management Private Equity Portfolio.
“I’ve been immersed in the work management space for some time, and there is a clear challenge that Asana addresses in helping teams use the systems, data, and processes they already have to improve how a business performs. Asana has built a strong foundation for bringing humans and agents together around real work, and I’m excited to contribute to the company’s next chapter in defining the next phase of the industry,” said Berquist.
