Ingram served as CFO and chief of strategy of Leap Wireless/Cricket Wireless from August 2007 through January 2015. He was also CEO of Nuera Communications from January 1998 through March 2007. Nuera makes VoIP gateways, soft switches, management systems and telephony solutions for telecommunications services providers. Avalara's previous CFO, David Rostov, joined the company in March 2013 and his LinkedIn page shows no updates. It does show him as having a major role in raising $200 million in venture capital and private equity money, along with $50 million in bank debt, which I don't know has ever been discussed publicly. He also says Avalara has experienced greater than 50-percent annual growth.
