‘We’ll be a company that sets big goals’: Rania Succar becomes Kaseya CEO

She will replace former CEO Fred Voccola five months after he resigned from the role

Kaseya has named Rania Succar as its new CEO.

She will replace Fred Voccola, former CEO, who stepped down in a surprise move in January.

The new head of the company brings over a decade of experience in various senior tech sales roles.

Her IT career started in 2011 when she joined Google as manager of the revenue acceleration team for the global display business.

She worked at the Big G for nearly five years, assuming different leadership positions, such as head of Americas display strategy, and head of brand solutions and innovation, North America.

In 2016, she was hired by Intuit as director and business leader of QuickBooks Capital.

She stayed there for seven years, eventually becoming SVP of QuickBooks Money Platform in 2020.

After the vendor acquired Mailchimp in 2021, she became GM of Intuit Mailchimp.

Under her leadership, revenue for small businesses increased thanks to the introduction of AI and SMS capabilities, expanding the firm’s international reach.

In an interview with CRN, Succar says that Kaseya “is incredibly well positioned to play a big role in small business success, given our deep partnership with MSPs.

“These providers are trusted advisors to small businesses and we’re here to supercharge their impact.”

She adds that she will aim to create a culture defined by “bold ambition and tremendous speed.”

“We’ll be a company that sets big goals and moves quickly to achieve them.

“We want our teams to operate without friction, to be highly accountable, customer-obsessed and relentlessly innovative.

“We’re going to invest in best-of-breed offerings and in an exceptionally integrated platform MSPs can run their businesses on.

“AI and automation will play a massive role in improving profitability and identifying growth opportunities for our customers.”

Mike Triplett, chairman of the board at Kaseya and MD at Insight Partners, added in an official statement: “We’re very proud of the scale and impact Kaseya has achieved - becoming a critical platform for MSPs supporting small and mid-sized businesses navigating increasingly complex IT and security demands.

“In our search for a new CEO, we sought a leader with the vision and capability to elevate Kaseya into one of the most essential platforms for MSPs and the broader SMB technology ecosystem.

“Rania’s bold leadership and track record in building and scaling innovative, customer-centric businesses for the SMB market make her an ideal leader to guide Kaseya into its next chapter and potential IPO.”
