Axonius has appointed Thais Lima as Chief Revenue Officer, adding a revenue leader with seven years at Twilio. Lima's path there ran from finance into the top tier of global sales, most recently as SVP Global Sales.
A Track Record In Sales
Lima brings two decades of professional experience to Axonius, including six years in sales, according to Crustdata people data. That sales career was built at Twilio, where Lima held six roles and rose from Senior Director Finance in 2018 to SVP Global Sales in 2025. After a first year in finance, Lima moved into customer-facing work as Senior Account Executive, Global Accounts and advanced to RVP, Global Accounts in 2020. A move to Vice President of Global Trading and Carrier Relations followed in 2023, ahead of the step up to SVP Global Sales.
Earlier, at GE, Lima built a strong finance foundation as Senior Director, Financial Planning & Analysis and later as VP, GTM Finance. That blend gives Axonius a revenue leader fluent in both the numbers and the customer.
