Last Reviewed: September 26, 2026

Executive Summary

Jack Blaha is Chief Executive Officer of Lexipol, which provides policy, training, wellness and reporting tools to police, fire, EMS and local government agencies from its base in Frisco, Texas. He was appointed in February 2026, succeeding the retiring Bill Nunan. Blaha has spent his career as a chief executive of private equity-backed vertical software companies. Before Lexipol he ran Cendyn in hospitality technology, Khoros in customer engagement, Lone Wolf Technologies in residential real estate and PeopleAdmin in education workforce software. Lexipol’s owner, GTCR, cited that record in “complex, highly regulated markets” as the reason for hiring him. His West Point education and service as an Army Captain also fit a company whose customers are first responders.

Professional Journey

Blaha graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science in Economics and served as a Captain in the U.S. Army. He later earned an MBA at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. In industry, he held senior leadership roles at Applied Materials, the semiconductor equipment maker, and at Aptean, the enterprise software company.

His later career has been as chief executive of software companies that each serve one vertical market and are owned by private equity. He led PeopleAdmin, which sells workforce management software to K-12 schools and higher education institutions. He led Lone Wolf Technologies, which provides front- and back-office workflow software to residential real estate brokerages. He also led Khoros, a customer engagement platform for consumer brands. In January 2023 Cendyn named him CEO. Cendyn sells revenue optimization and marketing software to hotels and resorts and had recently merged with Pegasus and acquired digitalhotelier. Blaha said then that its solutions would help hotels, resorts and casinos “leverage the data and technology they need to drive revenue and profitability”.

On 3 February 2026 Lexipol announced him as chief executive officer. The company was founded in 2003 by two attorneys who had also worked as law enforcement officers. It began with a policy solution and has since added training, wellness and reporting, which it now presents as a “total readiness” platform. Mark Anderson, a Lexipol board member and managing director at GTCR, said Blaha’s “experience in vertical software and his service-oriented background position him well to lead Lexipol through its next phase of growth”. Blaha said he would invest “in our products, our people, and the first responders who rely on Lexipol every day”.

As CEO he has spoken for the company’s readiness work. Lexipol launched its first Readiness Week for September 2026, drawing on its State of Readiness survey of more than 800 agencies. Blaha said readiness “is no longer something agencies can treat as a one-time effort”. In September 2026 he announced Lexipol’s inclusion in the Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work.
