More recently, he served as CFO for Devicescape, a provider of wireless software technologies, and JAJAH Inc., a VoIP provider acquired by Telefónica (News - Alert) S.A. Baeth currently serves as an advisory board member at Funding Wonder, Inc., a marketplace that bypasses financial intermediaries by directly connecting investors and small businesses to help each achieve their financial goals.

"RiskIQ is experiencing significant growth based on its unique ability to provide large enterprises with visibility and intelligence into security risks that exist on their web and mobile properties," said Baeth. "Elias has built a stellar management team that has maintained its entrepreneurial roots while scaling to meet the increasingly complex security needs of some of the world's leading financial and Internet companies. I am pleased to be joining RiskIQ at such an exciting time in its evolution."
