N-able Veteran Joins Cloud Upstart

Rob-Bissett N-Able 6fusion

First, some perspective on how to handle employee transitions — from both sides of the table. Check in with Bissett and N-able CEO Gavin Garbutt, and you’ll find (A) Bissett wishing N-able well and (B) Garbutt wishing Bissett well. Notes Garbutt, “Rob has been a great contributor to N-able’s growth and our partners’ success.  We wish Rob every success on his new endeavors.”

Bissett’s next stop is 6Fusion, which has two flagship solutions:

6fusion CEO John Cowan is a familiar name (and face) at many MSP-centric and partner-centric conferences. I most recently met Cowan during the HP Americas Partner Conference in Las Vegas, and he’s also made his cloud pitch at annual conferences hosted by N-able and Ingram Micro. Once Bissett settles in at 6fusion, I’ll ping him about the move and his views on 6fusion’s strategy.

N-able’s Next Move

Meanwhile, N-able has started the search for a new director of product marketing at the RMM (remote monitoring and management) software company. Garbutt says the search is both internal and external.

“We’re looking for the right person with the right skills, expertise and passion to strengthen our leadership and continue to execute against our vision of making our customers the world’s most successful MSPs,” said Garbutt. “In the interim, we have pulled from our strong bench of associates and have two product managers assisting us until a new Director is named.”

N-able also is gearing up for the company’s annual partner summit (Oct. 20-22, Scottsdale, Ariz.).
