Syncsort has a strong heritage and proven track record of providing distinct value to customers worldwide,” Santoni said. “Across industries and in some of the most demanding environments, Syncsort software brings high-performance, highly-efficient hardware utilization and ease of use. I am honored by the opportunity to lead Syncsort in unlocking greater opportunities for the value it delivers.

Santoni’s appointment comes on the heels of Syncsort’s recapitalization by Insight Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Goldman Sachs. This is the first time the company has invited outside investment in its forty-year history. Aso O. Tavitian, Syncsort’s founder, will remain a key stakeholder and active participant on the Syncsort board of directors.

Flavio is a seasoned executive with proven success in growing global IT organizations,” said Tavitian. “His experience and vision for the future strengthen Syncsort’s management team and will accelerate the company’s pace of growth.”

Peter Sobiloff, Managing Director at Insight Venture Partners and Chairman of Syncsort’s Board of Directors, added: "Private companies of Syncsort’s size and profitability are very rare assets in the software industry. Leaders who can drive such companies down a path of further profitable growth are equally rare. Flavio Santoni is one of those leaders and we are excited to have him at the helm. Insight had been looking for an opportunity to invest in Syncsort for over a decade and now its full resources and those of our co-investors are at Syncsort’s disposal.”

Santoni joins Syncsort from LSI Corporation, where he was co-general manager of its Engenio Storage Group. Prior to joining LSI, he was executive vice president and chief operating officer at Sutmyn Storage Corporation.

He earned a degree in electronics from IX Istituto Tecnico, Milan, Italy, and has completed the Stanford University AeA/Stanford Executive Institute program for the management of high technology companies.
