"ConnectWise has always been at the forefront of empowering MSPs with innovative solutions, and I am excited to be part of this journey. Together, we will continue to revolutionize the industry and provide unparalleled support to our partners."

One of the key reasons Robertson signed onto ConnectWise is his unwavering passion for the MSP community. Throughout his career, including his stint as Axcient CRO and as an instructor for CompTIA, he has demonstrated a genuine commitment to understanding the unique challenges faced by MSPs and has consistently advocated for their success. His deep-rooted knowledge of the industry is instrumental in shaping ConnectWise marketing strategy to better serve the needs of MSPs.

Since assuming the role of interim CMO in September, Angus has demonstrated exceptional leadership in building a strong team focused on scaling our brand globally, including through IT Nation Connect last November. These ambitions align perfectly with our growth strategy at ConnectWise, making Angus the perfect addition to our talented leadership team."

Robertson's appointment as Chief Marketing Officer at ConnectWise marks an exciting chapter for the company. With his strategic vision, industry knowledge, and dedication to the MSP community, ConnectWise is well-positioned to lead MSP adoption of hyperautomation through software innovation in the areas of generative artificial intelligence (AI) with ConnectWise Sidekick ™ and robotic process automation (RPA). These innovations and go-to-market support, through the ConnectWise Partner Program, further solidify ConnectWise as the leading provider for MSPs and enable continued growth for ConnectWise Partners.

To meet Robertson in-person, he will be attending the CompTIA Communities and Council Forum in Chicago from March 11-14 and supporting the Genuis Cafe on behalf of ConnectWise.
