Biography

Halmstad is a longtime resident of Eau Claire, Wisconsin and a graduate of North High School and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where he studied music and computer science. Halmstad co-founded JAMF Software (now Jamf) in 2002. His work in the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s IT department fueled his interest in streamlining information technology administration.[3] The tools he created to efficiently setup and maintain computers at UW-Eau Claire became the foundation and motivation to start Jamf.[4]

In 2017, Jamf was acquired by Vista Equity Partners and Halmstad and co-founder Chip Pearson left the company.[5]

Prior to selling Jamf, Halmstad was quoted as stating that "Jamf generates over $52 million in annual revenue, serves more than 5,500 customers, has nearly 500 employees, and just opened its eighth office around the world. JAMF has received an estimated valuation of $225 million.[6]." Since the sale, Jamf has grown to over 1,000 employees[7].

Halmstad was involved in two hotel renovations in downtown Eau Claire - The Lismore and The Oxbow - and, with musician Justin Vernon, helped raise funds for a performance center.[8][9]
