June 7, 2006, Burlington, MA Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage
management software, announced the appointment of John R. Murgo as
executive vice president and chief financial officer. Murgo reports
to CEO Walter Scott.
Murgo joins Acronis from OpenServices Inc., a
leading software vendor in the security information and event
management market, where he served as executive vice president and
chief financial officer. Earlier he served in various positions at
Process Software Corp., eventually becoming president and chief
executive officer. He also was the chief financial officer of web
applications vendor Dirig Software Inc. and HPSC Inc.
In addition to his financial duties at HPSC,
Murgo served as the acting chief operating officer where he was
responsible for all SEC filings, investor relations and other
financial responsibilities. He drove a $50 million recapitalization
of the publicly held firm in order to reduce the company's cost of
capital and better secure its financial base. As a result, the
company regained sound financial footing as well as the confidence
of its shareholders and shortly thereafter was sold to GE
Capital.
Murgo also served at one of the Big Five
accounting firms, serving as a manager in the Boston office of the
international accounting firm Coopers & Lybrand (now
PriceWaterhouse Coopers), where he worked with a number of public
companies and reviewed Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.
"John is a seasoned chief financial officer with
20 years experience in all facets of financial management, having
served as CFO for a range of growth-oriented companies," said
Acronis CEO Walter Scott. "His background in building high-quality
finance teams, along with experience with financings, mergers and
acquisitions, financial reporting and controls, make him an ideal
executive for the next phase of Acronis' growth."
"Bringing on a seasoned financial professional
further solidifies an outstanding senior management team," said
Scott Maxwell, managing director of Insight Partners, a major
investor in Acronis. "We see this as a huge plus for Acronis, a
company that has seen meteoric growth over the past few years. This
is a new position at Acronis and demonstrates the company's
evolution from feisty start-up to an established player in the
market for the long run."
