Yogesh Gupta who joined Kaseya as CEO two years ago is stepping into the chairman's role to make room for a new top executive.
Remote monitoring and management provider Kaseya has named Fred Voccola as its new CEO with Yogesh Gupta who has served as top executive for just over two years stepping into the role of chairman of the board. Those who follow the managed services market will remember that Gupta joined around the time that Kaseya was acquired by Insight Venture Partners.
So who is Fred Voccola and what does he bring to Kaseya? Gupta said that Voccola has an “outstanding track record of driving transformational growth for high-velocity software businesses and investing in the success of his customers.”
Investing in the success of customers — in this case, MSPs — is certainly be important to Kaseya managed service provider partners going forward. It’s unclear how Voccola will implement that in his new role heading up the RMM and IT monitoring and management company. But Kaseya did provide us with some details about how Voccola acquired this track record.

He’s also served as president of the DevOps software as a service company, Nolio, where he drove 100 percent year-over-year growth and ultimately sold the company to Computer Associates (CA).
In previous roles he participating in raising venture capital to jumpstart growth and in engineering deals to sell startups to larger companies.
