Portland, Ore – June 10, 2025 – NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management solutions, today announced two key additions to its executive leadership team. Kevin Haugh has been appointed Chief Product Officer, while Darin Ohlandt has been promoted to Chief Marketing Officer.
Kevin Haugh joins NAVEX with a distinguished track record of product leadership across enterprise software, data analytics, AI/ML, IoT, and SaaS. Most recently, he served as Chief Product Officer at Frontline Education, where he played a pivotal role in the company’s successful transition to Roper Technologies.
“NAVEX has set the pace in risk and compliance, and there’s real momentum behind the innovation happening here,” said Haugh. “It’s exciting to join a team that’s not just leading the space but pushing it forward. I’m thrilled to be part of what’s next, helping customers stay ahead in a fast-moving GRC world.”
A seasoned entrepreneur and executive, Haugh has a strong track record driving high-growth product strategies and guiding organizations through compliance issues in highly regulated industries, most especially healthcare where he testified in Congress on key provisions such as HIPAA.
“Kevin’s proven leadership in driving product innovation and scaling enterprise software solutions is a perfect fit for NAVEX as we accelerate our growth,” said Andrew Bates, CEO of NAVEX. “His vision will be instrumental in enhancing our product suite to meet the evolving needs of compliance and risk professionals.”
NAVEX also announced the promotion of Darin Ohlandt to Chief Marketing Officer. Ohlandt joined NAVEX in 2023 as SVP of Global Demand and Marketing Operations and brings over 25 years of experience leading data-driven marketing strategies for global brands. Prior to NAVEX, he held executive and leadership roles at Clarivate, Bloomberg Industry Group, Rosetta Stone, and Intelsat.
“Darin’s ability to blend the art of brand building with the science of modern marketing has elevated NAVEX’s market presence and delivered measurable impact,” Bates added. “His
leadership will continue to shape how we engage our customers, partners, and stakeholders around the world.”
“It’s a real privilege to step into this role and continue working alongside such a talented team,” said Ohlandt. “What drew me to NAVEX, and what keeps me inspired, is the clarity of purpose and the impact we make for our customers. I’m excited to keep building on that foundation, helping us grow in ways that stay true to who we are and what we stand for.”
The appointments come at a pivotal time for NAVEX, as the company continues to invest in product innovation and global market expansion. Both executives will play integral roles in supporting NAVEX’s mission to help organizations build cultures of ethics, compliance, and resilience.
