VP of Innovation, Cherwell

Joshua Caid, Cherwell’s Vice President of Product Management, brings a passion for creating software that makes people’s day-to-day lives better by solving real-world problems.

During his career, he was part of the Product Management team at GoldMine Software, with over a million distinct licenses sold. He helped create new product lines with FrontRange Solutions, and most recently helped to start up Cherwell Software, not only by driving product direction, but also by being flexible and wearing a lot of hats.

Before settling down to focus his creativity in the software realm, Josh was a professional musician and still loves to crank his guitar amp up ‘to eleven,' much to his neighbor's exasperation.
