ScalePad is delighted to announce the appointment of Chris Day as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Dan Wensley. Additionally, MSP industry expert Mike Walsh will take on the role of Chief Product Officer. This leadership shift signals a fresh era for ScalePad, positioning the company for rapid innovation and growth with a focus on product development.
Chris Day, who co-founded ScalePad in 2015 when it was known as Warranty Master, expressed his excitement for the CEO role. “It is with heartfelt gratitude that I step into this role,” said Day. “Dan has led ScalePad to 10X growth during his five-year tenure—an achievement beyond our wildest dreams. My commitment now is to equip our Partners with best-in-class products that empower them to deliver the ultimate client experience.”
During Dan Wensley’s time as CEO, ScalePad saw tremendous growth, evolving into a global entity with 240 employees and over 12,000 Partners. “Dan’s tenure has been marked by achievements well beyond what we imagined,” Day remarked. “Starting with just 25 employees and one SaaS product, Dan led ScalePad through a successful rebrand, five acquisitions, and its evolution into a multi-product industry leader. I’m thrilled that he’ll continue to serve as a strategic advisor to ScalePad.”
Long-time Partner and CEO of Transformative IT, Joe Markert, shared his views on Chris Day’s leadership. “I’ve known Chris as a thought leader in our space since before my company joined Warranty Master in 2015,” said Markert. “With Chris now at the helm, I’ve never been more enthusiastic about the future of ScalePad and what it means for all Partners.”
Mike Walsh, who steps into the role of Chief Product Officer, brings substantial technical expertise and leadership within the MSP industry. Walsh’s connection with Chris Day goes back to when he wrote the first line of code for one of Day’s products, IT Glue. “I’m proud to lead such an innovative team,” said Walsh. “With the upcoming launch of ScalePad Hub/OS, we’re introducing the MSP industry’s first open, integrated ecosystem. This platform will enhance productivity through smart workflows and seamless integration with third-party tools.”
With this leadership transition, ScalePad continues its tradition of innovation and excellence, ready to set new industry standards. Chris Day and Mike Walsh are committed to ensuring that the company’s future remains as successful as its past.
