[{"type":"text","content":" SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nNutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing, announced that, effective February 1, 2020, it appointed Aaron Boynton as Chief Accounting Officer to scale its global accounting function, and oversee all financial reporting and compliance efforts.
