Mike Grossman CEO, Zetta.net

Zetta.net announced the appointment of Mike Grossman as CEO.

The online business and software-industry visionary joins the company following his role as CEO of SugarSync. As CEO of Zetta.net, he will help usher the company to new levels of growth and international expansion.

He succeeds Ali Jenab who will remain Zetta.net’s COB.

The cloud is quickly transforming critical business operations, including backup and DR. As organizations seek to achieve higher levels of data protection and recovery, Zetta.net is meeting their needs with a software-only approach that simplifies backups, speeds data recovery and reduces overall cost for customers with volumes of data. The Zetta.net DataProtect solution, which is embraced by SMBs and MSPs alike, is changing the game for backup and recovery.

“There is a DR-as-a-Service revolution that is swiftly driving massive new opportunities for companies that can quickly act with the innovative technology and operational infrastructure companies need to deliver cost-effective DR protection,” said Grossman. “Zetta.net is perfectly poised to capitalize on this opportunity with a cloud-based DR approach that enables disaster readiness for any size organization, with the speed and agility to recover even the largest of data sets without cumbersome appliances. I look forward to helping chart the company’s continued advancements during such a pivotal time in the history of the cloud.”

Jenab has led Zetta.net’s growth since 2010. During this time he drove revenue achievements and triple digit expansion in both the company’s number of customers and MSP partners. Under his guidance, the company has also been awarded volumes of industry awards and accolades. His expertise will remain with the company as he continues in the role of COB.

“Mike is the ideal leader as Zetta.net moves to its next phase of growth,” said Jenab. “His proven track record in building and leading successful organizations will clearly benefit Zetta.net as we continue to execute on our growth strategy and move into international regions.”
