Kaseya appoints new leadership team in Europe and Asia-Pacific
Kaseya has appointed new leadership in the EMEA and APAC regions. Dermot McCann will head Europe as its new executive vice president and general manager, with Daniel Garcia promoted to vice president and general manager for APAC. “We are strengthening our position in Europe by bolstering our leadership in the region. As a global market leader, we recognise the importance of this market, and are committed to our growth there,” said Joe Smolarski, Kaseya president and chief customer officer. “Similarly, Asia-Pacific is equally critical to our business and therefore, we continue to allocate resources to support our partners based in APAC.” Dermot recently oversaw APAC as its senior vice president and general manager. In his new role, he will lead all go-to-market efforts across Europe. This is a homecoming for Dermot, who is originally from Galway, and will now be based in London. “I have had the pleasure of partnering with MSPs and helping them grow their revenue and improve their profitability,” he said. “I look forward to doing this in the EMEA region and understanding their unique needs
to ensure Kaseya invests and delivers an exceptional experience for them.” Dermot has more than 25 years of experience in leadership roles with global technology companies like Optus and IBM, driving business and transformation initiatives into large enterprises resulting in operational enhancements and increased revenue. Daniel, a seasoned IT leader, will now serve as vice president and general manager for APAC. Most recently, he helped launch TruPeer, Kaseya’s managed services provider training and mentoring group, in Australia. Daniel will oversee the go-to-market strategy for APAC, including new business and account management. Prior to joining Kaseya, he was the CEO at Virtual IT Group, a large MSP in the APAC region. Daniel brings extensive experience in operational growth to his new role. “I am eager to take on this new position with Kaseya, and to further support our partners in the APAC region so they can be the most successful and profitable MSPs globally,” he said. “We have a thriving MSP industry in APAC, and I want to make sure Kaseya continues to deliver to its customers and helps them grow as their needs evolve.”

New CEO and CFO confirmed at Sophos
Sophos has announced that Joe Levy is now chief executive officer (CEO) of the company, with Jim Dildine joining the company as chief financial officer (CFO) and a member of the senior management team. Joe had been acting CEO since February. He is a nearly 30-year veteran of innovating and leading cybersecurity product development, services and companies. During his nine-year tenure at Sophos, Joe drove the transformation of Sophos from a product-only vendor into a global cybersecurity giant, including an incident response team and managed detection and response service that defends more than 21,000 organisations worldwide. He also created SophosAI and Sophos X-Ops, an operational threat intelligence unit that joins together more than 500 cross- departmental cybersecurity operators and threat intelligence experts. He has in-depth experience working with the channel, including managed security providers, throughout his
career, which he started in the mid-1990s as a cybersecurity practitioner and product and service innovator at a value-added reseller. As CEO, Levy plans to expand Sophos’ already strong customer base in the midmarket, which includes nearly 600,000 customers worldwide and generates more than $1.2 billion in annual revenue. Jim was most recently at cybersecurity software and services company Imperva, where he was CFO for more than four years. Before Imperva, Jim was CFO for Symantec’s $2.5 billion enterprise security business unit for three years. He also previously held key financial leadership roles for nearly nine years at Blue Coat Systems. “Having worked in technology and finance for more than 30 years, it is exciting to join Sophos at this juncture, when the company is well on its way to breaking through to the next level,” said Jim. “I am looking forward to helping Joe accelerate growth and further position Sophos as a leader in the industry.”
