Austin McChord
The CEO and founder of Datto said today that he is going to quit these posts but will still remain on the board of directors.
Austin McChord said that he founded Datto 11 years ago when he was stuck in a basement, but has now grown the company into a behemoth with 1,400 employees with 14,000 managed service providers.
“I’m proud of the company we have built”, he said.
The company is now actively hunting down a replacement CEO but in the meantime chief operating officer Tim Weller will run the company.
McChord said that the move is “a natural evolution for the company and for me”.
