ON Partners Recruits CEO for Intterra
August 16, 2023 – Daniel Bolger and Jake Espenlaub of ON Partners have helped to place Mike Soldan as the new chief executive officer for Intterra, an interagency common operational platform backed by Emberline. He takes over as CEO from Molly Hausmann, who has served in an interim-role since early 2023, after also holding the COO role. “As the world increases in complexity, we need to make it easier for first responders to do their job,” said Jon McLaughlin, a partner at Emberline. “Mike has a tremendous amount of experience building technology companies that simplify complex problems, and we look forward to seeing Mike take Intterra on this journey.”
“Mike is the right leader at the right time – his extensive track record in public sector software solutions is a perfect complement to Intterra,” said Jeff Johnson, a director of the Western Fire Chiefs Association (WFCA). I can’t think of a better team than Intterra to help agencies around the country manage and mitigate risk.”
Mr. Soldan has led teams including B2B SaaS organizations within the public sector and education spaces, and has also advised many high-growth organizations on expansion initiatives. His core focus areas will be delivering on customer feedback faster, scaling Intterra’s data ecosystem to give customers more intel when they need it, and accelerating the deployment of Intterra’s common operating picture to all emergency needs.
“Intterra is on a rapid path to being the leader in all things emergency,” said Mr. Soldan. “Joining a team that is dedicated to helping first-responders and the communities they support is a dream. I’m committed to supporting Intterra’s customers by prioritizing an investment in technology and the customer experience. Our opportunity for growth is massive and I can’t wait to get started.”
Intterra is an interagency common operational platform providing real-time situational awareness software for firefighters, first responders, and the private sector. The company’s software tools allow communities to share situational information and respond to risks and events as they develop in real-time. Intterra is based in Castle Rock, CO.
