4. Kaseya’s Fred Voccola
If there was one story that captured readers’ attention this month it was Kaseya’s acquisition of Datto. Channel Futures published several stories about the deal, including an interview with Fred Voccola, Kaseya’s CEO. Voccola made waves this week for reassuring the channel that some things just won’t change because of the acquisition.
“I would address it this way. Look at Kaseya’s track record of acquisitions. Throughout each integration, we’ve always kept the brand. We’ve done zero layoffs, and we’ve kept the autonomy of the company that we’ve acquired. Obviously now they are part of Kaseya — we integrate the back office system, the HR, the finance, etc. But we’ve kept the autonomy and more importantly, we’ve kept the culture of what makes these companies great.”
