About TROM JEFF D.

Jeffrey D. Trom, Ph.D., is a U.S. technology executive closely associated with Workiva Inc., a publicly traded company serving the finance, risk, compliance, and audit markets with cloud-based reporting software. He served for many years as Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, and Workiva announced that he would retire from the CTO role effective February 1, 2023, while remaining available as a non-executive consultant during the transition. His Workiva tenure dates back to the company’s early formation in 2008, when he served as Managing Director and CTO of Workiva LLC before the business later became public. Prior to Workiva, Trom was already part of the founding leadership circle of Engineering Animation, a technology company that had previously gone public in the 1990s. That earlier chapter helped establish his profile as an experienced executive in enterprise software and complex digital workflow solutions. At Workiva, he was most closely tied to product architecture, technical strategy, and the evolution of the Wdesk platform, which was designed to automate and improve the reliability of financial and regulatory reporting processes. His leadership was important to Workiva’s transition from an emerging software company into a recognized reporting and compliance platform. Public company materials and interviews indicate that he played a visible role in articulating the value of Workiva’s technology for corporate teams managing large and highly regulated data sets. He was also part of the leadership group that guided the company through its NYSE-era growth and the broader scaling of its enterprise software offering. Beyond his internal executive duties, Trom has been active in the Montana business and innovation community, including leadership involvement with regional technology organizations. His career reflects a blend of technical depth, product leadership, and experience supporting a listed company’s growth strategy.
