M/C Partners-backed Consortium Networks retained Lantern Partners to recruit its Chief Financial Officer. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Koopman. He will partner with the CEO and the Board to strengthen forecasting and reporting, improve visibility across revenue streams, and build the finance infrastructure to scale toward exit.
Consortium has grown from a high-performing cybersecurity VAR, with deep roots as a CrowdStrike partner, into a broader platform spanning resale, professional services, and proprietary software, including its MTM® risk-quantification platform. That evolution defined the mandate: a commercially oriented CFO who could bring financial visibility and operating discipline across multiple revenue models, partner closely with the CEO, Board, and go-to-market leadership, and build the finance infrastructure required for continued growth and an eventual exit.
Koopman matched the mandate on its most demanding dimensions. As CFO of Coretek, a Microsoft Azure cloud solutions provider, he oversaw finance, strategy, treasury, and corporate development across a services-and-cloud model, the kind of multi-stream complexity Consortium now carries. As CFO of Merlin Cyber, a federal cybersecurity reseller, he operated inside the channel dynamics central to Consortium’s resale business. Earlier, at RoundTower Technologies, he built the finance organization from the ground up, the work ahead at a scaling Consortium, and led the company’s sale to AHEAD, directly relevant to the eventual exit this mandate is built around. Few finance leaders combine all three, and that convergence is what made him the right CFO for where Consortium is headed.
