Form.io, an enterprise platform focused on API-first forms and data management, has appointed Jeff Hadfield as Director of Business Development as the company looks to expand strategic partnerships and accelerate growth across regulated industries.
In his new role, Hadfield will lead growth initiatives, deepen partner relationships, and drive new enterprise opportunities. The company said the move supports its continued expansion across healthcare, government, financial services, technology, and other highly regulated sectors where secure and compliant data collection is critical.
Hadfield brings experience in business development, strategic partnerships, and market expansion within the technology industry. Before joining Form.io, he worked at Docker, where he contributed to growth initiatives that strengthened customer and partner relationships and broadened engagement within the developer ecosystem. Form.io said its background aligns with its focus on delivering secure, flexible, and developer-first data collection solutions.
The appointment comes as enterprises increasingly integrate AI agents and automated workflows into their operations. Form.io positions its API-native, programmable form and data infrastructure as foundational to enabling structured data collection that serves both human users and autonomous systems. The company emphasized that as development teams shift toward orchestrating AI-driven systems rather than building every feature manually, the need for extensible, compliance-ready data layers becomes more pronounced.
Founded in 2015, Form.io provides infrastructure that helps enterprises simplify and secure data collection, streamline workflows, and build structured data layers that support modern applications and AI agents.
KEY QUOTES
“As AI agents and automated workflows increasingly handle tasks that once required manual input, the need for structured, API-first form and data infrastructure becomes even more critical. Forms aren’t going away in an agentic world. They’re becoming the connective tissue between human decision-making and autonomous systems. Jeff’s experience building alliances across developer and enterprise markets will help us deepen our impact at exactly the right moment.”
Gary Wetzel, CEO of Form.io
“I’m excited to join Form.io at such a pivotal moment. I’ve known and followed the company for many years. As agentic AI changes how software gets built and how work gets done, Form.io’s developer-first, open-source, API-native approach is exactly what enterprises need — structured data collection that works for both people and AI agents. I look forward to building relationships that help more organizations modernize how they collect and manage critical data.”
