Occupier Appoints Scott Johns as Chief Financial Officer and Michael Laccetti as Chief Technology Officer

Two tech veterans join to scale Occupier’s business and advance its lease management and accounting platform.

[Boston, MA — November 9, 2026] — Occupier, the only modern lease management and accounting platform purpose-built for corporate tenants, today announced the appointments of Scott Johns as Chief Financial Officer and Michael Laccetti as Chief Technology Officer. The appointments come as Occupier continues its momentum in building the intelligent operating system for corporate real estate teams.

"We're building Occupier on talent density, with experienced leaders who bring high character and high drive," said David Axler, CEO of Occupier. "Scott has been a finance and operating executive from startup to public company, and he'll make us faster and more disciplined at the same time. Mike brings experience building AI-native products and scaling engineering organizations, with a strong focus on turning technology into customer and business outcomes. Together, they strengthen our ability to scale both the business and the platform."

Johns has spent more than 20 years in finance and operating roles at technology companies. Most recently he was CFO of Cognitive Systems Corp. Before that, he was CEO of Delego, an integrated payments company for enterprises running SAP, which he grew through to its sale to EVO Payments. Earlier, he scaled the finance function at Sandvine as it grew from startup to a global networking leader listed on the TSX and Nasdaq. As CFO, Johns will lead Occupier's finance and accounting functions and oversee financial strategy and planning.

"Occupier has a strong product, a clear market, and a team that's executing with precision and speed. My job is to make sure the business scales with the same discipline," said Johns. "For our customers, real estate is fundamental to their growth, and I'm excited to join the team building the leading solution in the corporate real estate space."

Laccetti brings more than 20 years of experience building software products, scaling technology organizations, and translating emerging technologies into business value. Most recently, he was Senior Director of Engineering at Gorgias, where he led product strategy and engineering for an AI-native conversational marketing product. Previously, he served as Head of Engineering at Shakepay and VP of Engineering at Reach Financial and Top Hat, where he led platform modernisation, organizational growth, and product delivery at scale. As CTO, Laccetti will lead Occupier’s engineering organization and technology strategy, supporting its evolution into an intelligent operating system for corporate real estate.

“Occupier has an exciting opportunity to fundamentally change how corporate real estate teams work,” said Laccetti. “AI opens up new possibilities to turn trusted data into better decisions and simpler workflows. But technology is rarely the hardest part. The real work is understanding which problems matter most to customers, then giving our teams the context, tools, and autonomy to solve them. That’s how we build an intelligent operating system that delivers real value.”
