Acronis, Inc. (www.acronis.com), the
technological leader in storage management software, announced that
its board of directors has named Walter Scott as the company's
president and chief executive officer.
Scott most recently served as the CEO of Imceda
Software, Inc., where he was responsible for driving the
performance of the company's SQL Server backup and
recovery business and its sale to Quest Software, Inc.
Previously, Scott served as the vice president of worldwide sales
for Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., where he was instrumental in
the company's successful IPO.
"The Acronis board unanimously selected Scott
based on his track record of leading fast-growth organizations, as
well as his strong executive and personal qualities," said Max
Tsypliaev, Acronis' Chairman of the Board. Tsypliaev, who
previously held the title of CEO, was elevated to chairman at the
same board meeting.
"We knew we needed a strong leader with
extensive experience to lead our organization to the next level,"
said Tsypliaev. "We found that person in Walter. He has the skills,
drive, determination and understanding of the market required."
"I was impressed with the dedication of the
team, the loyalty of the Acronis customer base and the technology
that they are producing," Scott said. "There is a real need in the
market to deliver high-quality products that address the disaster recovery requirements of
every computer user from the person with a PC in their living
room to the largest corporations in the world. After extensive
research on the existing solutions in the market, I am convinced
that Acronis has the executive team, staff and technology in place
to address these needs."
