Syncro, a provider of a unified platform for managed service providers (MSPs) and internal IT teams, is strengthening its strategic leadership with a high-profile board appointment. The company has announced that Marc Brown, a former Corporate Vice President at Microsoft with a 25-year track record in technology leadership and major acquisitions, has joined its board of directors to guide its accelerated growth.
Syncro appoints former Microsoft CVP Marc Brown to its board of directors.
Brown oversaw landmark acquisitions like LinkedIn, GitHub, and Minecraft at Microsoft.
His experience includes board roles at Rapid7 and former MSP leader Datto.
The appointment validates Syncro's position in the MSP and SMB IT market.
It comes during a period of momentum following the launch of Syncro's XMM platform.
Brown's expertise will guide Syncro's expansion in the $1.9 trillion SMB IT sector.
Brown's distinguished career at Microsoft, where he drove over 185 acquisitions and 80 equity investments, brings a depth of strategic insight to Syncro. His experience is particularly relevant given his previous board role at Datto, a core platform in the MSP ecosystem, which solidifies his understanding of the unique needs of the managed services channel.
“Marc is a proven architect of exponential growth and value in the global technology ecosystem,” said Michael George, CEO of Syncro. “Marc’s decades of strategic leadership... provides an unparalleled depth of insight as we enhance and extend Microsoft’s critical enterprise functionality for the SMB.”
The board appointment comes at a pivotal time for Syncro. The company recently launched its groundbreaking XMM (Extended Monitoring & Management) platform, which unifies RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management), PSA (Professional Services Automation), and Microsoft 365 management. It also introduced Syncro Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. Brown's background in aligning product, data, and channel strategies is expected to accelerate the company's penetration of the $1.9 trillion SMB IT services market.
"Syncro's unique unification of RMM, PSA, and M365 management through the XMM platform has clearly created a highly valuable and disruptive force in the market," said Marc Brown. "I am excited to join Syncro's board because I see a company at an inflection point with massive growth potential."
The addition of a board member with Marc Brown's pedigree is a significant endorsement of Syncro's market position and vision. His guidance will be crucial as the company continues to innovate and expand its unified platform, aiming to power the next generation of MSPs and internal IT teams serving the small and medium business sector.
