Executive Team

Jon Darbyshire

Founder, President and CEO

Jon Darbyshire is President and CEO of Archer Technologies. He founded the company in 2000 with a vision to create enterprise-wide IT risk and compliance management solutions that would replace traditional manual processes and disparate point solutions. Jon’s vision has evolved into Archer’s award-winning enterprise governance, risk and compliance solutions built on the Archer SmartSuite Framework, which allows business users to create and tailor applications to meet their unique needs.

Jon believes that business software must be easy to configure, manage and deploy and should work in a way that evolves with the company’s changing needs. Under Jon’s direction, Archer has turned this concept into a reality through the Archer SmartSuite Framework, which allows clients to easily tailor Archer solutions to their unique requirements and to create hundreds of new business applications in the time it usually takes to deploy a single software package.

Through Jon’s unfailing determination and leadership, Archer Technologies has grown from an innovative idea to the mainstay of IT Risk and Compliance Management teams within the financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceutical and technology industries. As Archer Technologies continues to grow, Jon leads Team Archer in donating the company’s time and technology to help those in need and to effect positive change in the community.

Prior to founding Archer, Jon held senior executive positions within the Security and Risk Management practices of Ernst & Young and Price Waterhouse. Jon has more than 20 years of experience in the security, risk and compliance management space.
