UK-based secure cloud services provider, Six Degrees, today announced a management shakeup as part of its growth plans.
From 1st May 2021, current CEO, David Howson, will become Chairperson of the Board and Simon Crawley-Trice, currently Practice Group Managing Director, will assume the role of CEO.
Howson’s move to Chairman comes after four years as CEO during which time he has overseen Six Degrees’ transformation.
He said: “I’m immensely proud of everything we’ve achieved over the past four years, culminating this year in the launch of our powerful Beyond Cloud proposition and our newly awarded status as an Azure Expert MSP. Six Degrees is now entering the next stage of its growth journey and we recruited Simon last year in anticipation of these changes. I am very confident that Simon’s experience, knowledge and passion will help us accelerate our plans and provide an even better service to our customers.”
Before joining Six Degrees in October 2020, Crawley-Trice was on the EMEA Executive team at Rackspace where he led their exponential growth in public cloud, application, data managed services and professional services propositions across EMEA and the USA.
He said: “Six Degrees has the potential to be the biggest name in the UK secure cloud services market. The company has seen a great deal of success to date, and I’m excited to build on this success by further enhancing the mission-critical integrated solutions we deliver to clients.”
He said customers’ digital transformation programmes were moving increasingly towards Public Cloud, Data and Security services.
