As part of its unwavering commitment to the MSP community, Kaseya also announced the appointment of industry veteran Miguel Lopez as Senior Vice President and General Manager for MSP Solutions. Lopez brings over 20 years of managed services experience to his role and will lead Kaseya’s MSP strategies and consult with Kaseya partners large and small to help them better solve their clients’ business problems with Kaseya technology solutions.

“As the leading provider of IT management, security and automation technology to MSPs, Kaseya is in the enviable position of being the vendor that others look to for information on what separates a successful MSP from the pack. Having been on both sides (MSP and vendor), I know first hand that successful MSPs have bolder strategies and put their customers’ concerns first,” said Miguel Lopez, SVP and GM of MSPs, Kaseya. “At Kaseya, we base our own customer success model on our customers’ year-over-year growth rather than our own company’s sales. It turns out that the most successful MSPs follow the same model for their customers.
