ConnectWise has expanded its leadership team with three new executive appointments across the information security, growth and engineering departments.
Chris Timms joins ConnectWise as EVP of growth from his former role at ACI Worldwide, Tom Greco is promoted from director of information security to chief information security officer (CISO) and Tony Clancy has been named SVP of engineering from his previous position at CentralSquare Technologies.
The company said that Timms leads a newly created growth organisation within ConnectWise focused on creating value for partners through the ConnectWise ecosystem and the larger industry. His responsibilities include corporate strategy, corporate development and the partner ecosystem, as well as helping drive innovation across the company.
Timms will be involved in future acquisitions, helping ensure seamless integration for partners.

At ACI, Timms held several different roles in operations, strategy, and product management. He most recently served as its VP for market strategy, strategic pricing, and market intelligence and led these functions globally.
Greco is responsible for ConnectWise’s overall security strategy, including identifying and implementing security practices, policies and solutions, and driving best practices for infrastructure and application security. He and his team also keep colleagues and the executive leadership team educated on all matters related to ConnectWise’s security posture. Previously, Greco served as Citi’s Senior Vice President and International Group Information Security Officer. While there, he established Citi’s Mexico application security organisation and successfully led a multi-disciplined team in combatting high-volume, automated cyberattacks.
