A longtime in-house leader at Molson Coors Beverage Co. has parted ways with the beverage giant to take over as the first-ever legal chief for tech startup JumpCloud.

Eric Gunning began his new job this week at Louisville, Colorado-based JumpCloud, which launched in 2012 and offers a cloud-based directory service to securely connect and manage employees, including those who work remotely, their devices and information technology applications.
