Data protection outfit Arcserve has named Brannon Lacey as its CEO.
The appointment comes as Arcserve wants to rapidly expand on its global top five data protection vendor position following the merger with StorageCraft in March of this year. Arcserve brings, it’s said, much-needed data and business certainty to organisations of all sizes globally.
Dave Hansen, Arcserve’s Chairman of the Board said: “Brannon is an exceptional business leader. He brings a tremendous track record in leading fast-growth global companies and achieving strong and sustainable growth in highly competitive markets. His deep experience with channel-driven organisations from both vendor and customer perspective will be of immense value to Arcserve as a 100% channel-centric company.”
Lacey said: “Arcserve commands an enormous market opportunity. It has best-in-world people, leadership, technologies, partners, and investors. I am excited and proud to take the leadership of Arcserve as we invest and focus on aggressive and sustainable global market growth.”
Lacey joins Arcserve from PeopleScout, the world’s largest Recruitment Process Outsourcing firm, where he served as president and oversaw the organizations’ rapid digital transformation and growth. Previous roles include president of Benefits Solutions, a $2 billion business segment of human capital provider Alight; global SVP & general manager of Application Services with Rackspace, one of the world’s largest managed services providers, and principal at Samsung Ventures, where he was responsible for venture capital investments in the mobility space.
Lacey is a graduate of the University of Arizona and earned his MBA from Columbia Business School.
