Schramm and Anand join F5’s executive leadership team under President and CEO François Locoh-Donou.
Responsible for driving people initiatives, Schramm has a wealth of experience in roles that align people strategies with business objectives in high-growth, innovative and philanthropic sectors.

“F5’s human-first and high-performance culture resonates deeply with me. I am drawn to the opportunity to infuse our workplace with a culture of innovation that inspires our employees to reach higher and drive meaningful impact,” said Schramm.
Anand is responsible for setting the technology vision for F5. He has deep expertise across multiple areas, including cybersecurity and data.

Prior to that, he was co-founder of application security startup Prevoty and held senior roles at BBC Worldwide and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
“F5 is the industry leader in multi-cloud application security and delivery. I’m thrilled to join the immensely talented F5 team at such a pivotal time as the industry moves to better address complexity and security in ways that help organisations unlock the potential of distributed computing and AI,” said Anand.
