ScalePad has appointed Chris Day as its new Chief Executive Officer, following the departure of Dan Wensley. Additionally, MSP expert Mike Walsh will assume the role of Chief Product Officer. This leadership shift marks a significant moment for ScalePad as the company prepares for a future of innovation and growth, driven by a focus on product development.
Chris Day, who co-founded the company in 2015 under the original name Warranty Master, expressed his eagerness to take on the 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.”
Under Dan Wensley’s leadership, ScalePad grew from 25 employees to 240, with a global network of over 12,000 Partners. “Dan’s tenure has been marked by achievements well beyond what we imagined,” Day commented. “Dan led ScalePad through a successful rebrand, five acquisitions, and its transformation into a multi-product industry leader. I’m thrilled that he’ll continue to serve as a strategic advisor to ScalePad.”
Joe Markert, CEO of Transformative IT, reflected on his long-standing relationship with Chris Day. “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 has taken on the position of Chief Product Officer, brings substantial experience in the MSP sector. His connection with Chris Day dates 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,” Walsh remarked. “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 is poised to continue setting the pace for innovation and excellence in the MSP space, with a strong focus on supporting its Partners.
