CEO of Kaseya Fred Voccola is transitioning from CEO to the role of Vice Chairman at the company. 

Voccola stepping into vice chairman role

Kaseya, a global provider of AI-powered cybersecurity and IT management software said in a press release that Voccola will now focus on long-term innovation and strategy while also helping the board find a new CEO to handle day-to-day operations.

“With Kaseya coming off the strongest quarter and year in our history, now is the right time for me to step up into the role of Vice Chairman and hand over operating responsibilities to a new CEO,” said Voccola. “It has been the honor of my professional life to lead Kaseya and work alongside the talented team that has driven our success.”

Voccola served as CEO for 10 years and has helped Kaseya grow since 2015 from a single-product provider into a comprehensive platform with over $1.5 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR). 

“Kaseya’s future is incredibly bright, and I’m excited to work with Fred and the board to identify a new leader who will guide the company through this transformative period,” said current Kaseya board member Kevin Thompson.

Managing Director at Insight Partners Mike Triplett said that Voccola’s transition to Vice Chairman will allow him to focus on long-range innovation and go-to-market strategies to ensure long-term success for the company.

“The news on Fred’s departure from Kaseya was not totally surprising given the amount of change we’re seeing in the MSP industry,” said John Pagliuca, N-able President and CEO. “This includes a growing trend of instability among leadership– as we’ve seen across Datto, ConnectWise, and now Kaseya. We’re doing things differently. We’re augmenting our stability. As an example, Frank Colletti, our CRO, has been with us since the birth of the MSP industry and knows our partners by their first names. And then we’ve augmented with someone like Robert Johnston, the former CEO of Adlumin, who has joined my leadership team as part of the acquisition, bringing a wealth of cybersecurity industry expertise and know-how to the table. We’re not just building a company with each step of our momentum. We’re building a success path for our partners. I’ll say it again– they aren’t commodities. Our partners are the secret sauce behind protecting our global midmarket and it’s a really exciting time to be doing this.”

Kaseya’s next phase of growth is already underway

This news comes as Kaseya begins laying the foundation for a potential public offering in the future.

In Oct. 2024, Kaseya announced the launch of Kaseya 365 User joining Kaseya 365 Endpoint, which launched in April 2024. Kaseya 365 is a unified subscription service that offers essential tools IT professionals need in a complete and cost-effective package. 

Over the course of the past year, Kaseya has also strengthened its team by revamping its executive leadership team with a new CFO, CMO, and CHRO, among other key internal leaders.

As a leader in IT management and cybersecurity software, Kaseya is altering the landscape for MSPs with its services. Read more about Kaseya 365 and its Partner First Pledge
