Orbus Software, a global provider of enterprise transformation software, has appointed Steve Fulton as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Orbus Software appoints Steve Fulton, former President of Secureworks, as its new CEO.
He succeeds Gareth Burton, who led the company's SaaS transformation and growth financing.
Fulton brings over 25 years of enterprise software leadership, including scaling Secureworks' SaaS ARR to $300M.
His mandate is to lead Orbus's vision, strategy, and execution during a phase of rapid global expansion.
The company recently secured a major growth equity investment from FTV Capital and SilverTree Equity.
Fulton's experience in SaaS transformation and scaling is seen as key for Orbus's next chapter.
Steve Fulton assumes the CEO role at a pivotal time for Orbus, following a major growth equity investment and during a period of rapid global expansion. He is now responsible for leading the company's vision, strategy, and execution. “I believe my experience and style complement the team and create a strong foundation for the company’s next phase of accelerated growth,” said Steve Fulton.
Fulton brings extensive experience in scaling enterprise software businesses, most notably from his tenure at Secureworks. As President, he led the company's transformation to a SaaS-based XDR platform, growing its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from zero to $300 million, which preceded the company's sale to Sophos. His background also includes leadership roles at EMC, Dell, and other technology firms, providing a deep understanding of product-led growth and customer experience.
Outgoing CEO Gareth Burton led Orbus through a significant phase, including its transition to a SaaS business model and securing the growth equity investment that positions the company for its next chapter. Burton expressed confidence in the transition, stating Fulton "embodies the ideal mix of passion, leadership, and experience to lead Orbus to even greater success."
Orbus provides the cloud-native OrbusInfinity platform, designed to help leaders improve strategic decision-making for business transformation. With Fulton's leadership, the company aims to evolve its strategic vision and expand its market presence globally. Chairman Quentin Gallivan highlighted the company's "market-leading platform" and "customer-obsessed" team as key assets for this next stage.
The appointment of Steve Fulton as CEO signals Orbus Software's intent to capitalize on its recent investment and accelerate its growth trajectory. By selecting a leader with a proven track record in SaaS transformation and scaling ARR, the board is placing a clear emphasis on operational execution and market expansion. This leadership change is poised to steer Orbus through its next evolution as a key enabler of enterprise transformation in a competitive global software market.
