Datto CTO Robert Petrocelli Exits Amid Sale to Kaseya
Summary
Robert (Bob) Petrocelli, Datto’s CTO, resigns after Kaseya acquires the MSP technology business. He joins former CEO Tim Weller as the first two CXOs to exit the business after Kaseya completes its $6.2 billion acquisition of Datto. On that day, Kaseya CEO Fred Voccola pledged to drive investment, innovation, and integration—while reducing Datto’s list prices on new product purchases by an average of 10%. It’s difficult to measure whether or how the list price reductions will translate into actual savings for MSPs, but Kaseya points to a history of successful acquisitions and results from MSP partners. Meanwhile, Rob Rae, Datto’s senior VP of business development, was quoted alongside Voccola as the sale to Kaseya closed – a key step in reassuring MSPs that the buyer is committed to the partner’s continued success.
