MSP Datto has announced several key leadership positions including a new Chief Sales Officer, Managing Director of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Customer Experience Officer (CXO).
Sanjay Singh was named as Chief Sales Officer. Singh brings more than 20 years of operational and general management experience and is focused on growing the business across the globe.
Before joining Datto, he was Chief Operating Officer at Unbxd, Inc., a product-discovery platform that uses artificial intelligence to anticipate and influence buying behaviours. Singh also worked for Akamai Technologies for 18 years, most recently as Senior Vice President of Global Operations and previously held roles in sales, services, and support.
Datto has appointed Mark Simon as the new EMEA Managing Director where he will lead in a region that has experienced growth of more than 1,600 MSP partners in the last 15 months.
Simon is responsible for sales strategy and execution as well as leadership of Datto’s growing EMEA presence. Simon joins Datto with 20 years of international experience, including 14 years at Toluna, a technology provider of digital consumer insights, where he held various leadership roles, including Managing Director, North America, Managing Director, UK and Global Head of Products.
Singh and Simon join Chris McCloskey, who joined Datto in late 2018 as CXO, leading Datto’s technical support, customer experience and implementation teams. McCloskey’s teams are focused on providing service to Datto’s global partner base. Prior to joining Datto, McCloskey served as Finastra’s Chief Operating Officer for the Americas and several other roles, including Global Head of Solutions and Field Operations, and Global Head of Sales Operations.
Datto CEO Tim Weller (pictured) said that it’s a great time to be an MSP.
“We see promising growth for our partners and we anticipate that our new executive leaders will help shape and deliver on Datto’s vision to meet those market demands.
“More than 18 months after our merger with Autotask, we’re still growing our ecosystem. We signed on more than 1,500 new partners since the start of the year and continue to help them grow their revenue year-over-year.”
Datto’s key hires will help the company stay ahead of the growing demands placed on MSPs globally to provide these services to their SMB clients, Weller said.
