Nick Hunt Named CEO of StackBob.ai | Agentic IGA
The GMA Admin
StackBob.ai appoints identity security veteran Nick Hunt as CEO, with co-founder Ole Shved moving to CPO to scale its Agentic IGA platform globally.
Nick Hunt takes over as CEO
StackBob.ai, a company focused on Agentic Identity Governance (Agentic IGA) and “any-app” connectivity through proprietary technology, has appointed identity security veteran Nick Hunt as its new Chief Executive Officer.
As part of the same leadership shift, co-founder Ole Shved is moving into the Chief Product Officer role, where he will continue driving product strategy and the evolution of StackBob.ai’s agentic architecture.
The integration gap Identity teams face
Hunt’s arrival comes at a time when identity and access management (IAM) teams continue to struggle with a familiar operational problem: many business applications still can’t be brought into central identity governance programs because API coverage is limited or inconsistent.
When core governance platforms can’t integrate with the majority of apps, teams are often forced into slow, expensive custom work—creating access gaps that can turn into security and compliance risk over time.
StackBob.ai positions its agentic approach as a response to this reality, aiming to help organizations govern access across applications without being blocked by missing APIs.
What StackBob.ai says its tech does
Founded in 2022 by Yarik Rozum and Ole Shved, StackBob.ai introduced “Agentic Identity Governance” as a new way to extend governance beyond the apps that traditional connector-based approaches can reach.
The company says its proprietary No-Code Autonomous Provisioning (NCAP™) technology can discover, assess, and govern access across applications without relying on APIs or custom connectors.
StackBob.ai also describes its agents as supporting joiner–mover–leaver workflows and extending governance across the broader application environment, including tools that typically remain outside automated identity programs.
What changes under Hunt
Hunt brings more than two decades of experience leading identity and access management programs across enterprise and public-sector environments, including senior leadership roles at Oracle and major U.S. institutions.
StackBob.ai indicates that, as CEO, he will prioritize expanding enterprise adoption, building out the partner ecosystem, and guiding the company through its next growth phase.
He is also expected to take the lead in closing the company’s seed funding round planned for spring 2026.
In parallel, StackBob.ai says it will continue operating alongside existing IGA and identity provider (IdP) platforms—without requiring replacement, migration, or re-architecture—while targeting apps that lack SCIM, APIs, or prebuilt connectors.
