2024年5月2日 - 12:00AM
Pax8, the leading cloud commerce marketplace, today announced it
has named Scott Chasin as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective
immediately. Chasin, who has served as Pax8’s Chief Technology
Officer (CTO) since 2021, will now lead the company, overseeing
day-to-day operations and driving the strategic vision for Pax8’s
innovative marketplace technology. He succeeds John Street, the
company’s founder, who will continue as Chairman of the Board of
Directors, providing oversight and focusing on strategic
activities.
“Today marks the beginning of a new era at Pax8,
as it is my pleasure to announce that Scott Chasin is officially
now the CEO,” said Street. “I met Scott at the beginning of his
entrepreneurial journey nearly three decades ago and have seen
first-hand how he leads, dreams, and executes. He has a strong
vision and the potential to take Pax8 further as a product-led
technology company. Pax8 is on track to become an iconic brand, and
I am thrilled to leave it in such capable hands and excited for
what comes next.”
As CTO of Pax8, Chasin grew a dynamic team of
engineers and product developers, led research and development
initiatives and developed a revolutionary technology roadmap. Last
year, Chasin unveiled the future of Pax8’s Marketplace, designed to
enable partners and vendors with data-driven insights and
capabilities to accelerate their growth.
“Under John’s leadership, Pax8 has achieved
extraordinary success, growing from a small technology startup to a
leading global company,” said Chasin. “As I step into the CEO role,
I’m humbled and energized by the vast potential ahead. According to
Canalys, ninety-nine percent of companies worldwide are
small-midsized businesses, which rely heavily on IT solution
providers for their technology adoption and integrations. Through
our innovative Marketplace, top-tier enablement programs, and
connected community, Pax8 will empower our partners’ success and
propel businesses around the world into the digital future.”
Chasin, a serial entrepreneur with over 30 years
of leadership experience, has founded and led multiple successful
technology startups, including USA.NET, MX Logic, and ProtectWise.
As an early pioneer of cloud-based technologies, he has dedicated
much of his professional efforts to developing cutting-edge
solutions that address evolving market demands. Beyond his
executive leadership experience, Chasin has also served on the
boards of various organizations, providing strategic oversight and
guidance to help new entrants navigate the dynamic technology
landscape.
"We share in the excitement for Scott Chasin and
Pax8 as they pass the torch of CEO,” said Nicole Dezen, Chief
Partner Officer and CVP, Microsoft. “Pax8 is an innovative partner
for Microsoft globally, we look forward to working with Scott to
drive Copilot, Security & AI into the partner ecosystem."
