TROY, MI – Altair appointed Matthew Brown to serve as senior vice president, effective Jan. 1, and he will become the software firm’s chief financial officer Mar. 16.

Brown will succeed Howard Morof, who will be stepping down from the CFO role to pursue new opportunities and personal interests.

Brown previously served in finance leadership roles at NortonLifeLock, a consumer cyber safety company, including as interim CFO from November 2019 to July 2020.

“We are extremely excited to add Matt to our team,” said James R. Scapa, founder and CEO of Altair. “His experience in finance and accounting, as well as his commitment to business growth, position him to make significant contributions to our company. I expect he will be a valued advisor to me and an important part of our growth and development.”

“I’m thrilled to be joining Altair at such an exciting point in the company’s history,” said Brown. “Innovation and envisioning the future are at the core of Altair’s culture. I look forward to continuing that legacy, while working alongside some of the industry’s smartest people to drive profitable growth and deliver value to our customers, partners, stockholders, and employees.”

“I also want to take this opportunity to thank Howard Morof for his significant contributions to Altair over the past eight years, both as the head of our accounting and finance teams and as an important member of senior management,” said Scapa. “With his leadership guiding us through our IPO and helping us develop a firm footing as a reporting company, Howard has been instrumental in developing our strong relationship with the investment community, founded on a solid reputation for integrity and credibility. I wish Howard much success in the future.”
