Mr. Jochim will oversee SoundThinking's TechnoLogic division and lead development, deployment and customer support for the CaseBuilder case management solution. TechnoLogic is a division of SoundThinking that provides custom managed services and development for the NYPD's on-premises Enterprise Case Management System and adjacent enterprise applications.

Most recently, Mr. Jochim served as Vice President of Customer Success and Program Management at Zetron, Inc., a mission-critical communications company serving 911 centers and public safety agencies globally. Before that, he spent seven years at Mark43, a leading public safety software company, initially as Vice President of Deployments and then as Chief Operating Officer, scaling the company through a $250 million venture financing round and into markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

"We've been deliberate about timing leadership additions to where the business is heading. We believe David's experience in building operational discipline while growing the customer base is exactly what this part of our business needs next." said Ralph Clark, President and CEO of SoundThinking. "We're thrilled to welcome him to the team."

"In this part of public safety software, the difference between a good vendor and a great one comes down to delivery, not feature lists. The TechnoLogic and CaseBuilder teams have earned deep trust with sophisticated agencies over many years. My job is to make sure we keep earning it — on every release, every deployment, every support call" said Jochim. "Delivering on and building on that trust — consistently and at the highest level — is exactly the kind of work I find most meaningful. I'm excited to lead these teams."
