Backup and Disaster Recovery Leader, Macrium Software, Ushers In A New Era

 

09 SEPTEMBER 2024, MANCHESTER: Macrium, a global leader in backup and disaster recovery, imaging and deployment software solutions that support critical infrastructure, operational technology and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sectors, announces a new CEO to lead the company into an exciting phase of growth and transformation.

Dave Joyce, who joined Macrium as COO in 2023, takes over from the company’s founder, Nick Sills. Joyce has over 25 years of experience leading software, payment, and fintech businesses, including turnarounds and venture-backed growth stage businesses. He started his career with Visa International in the late 1980s.

Sills, who founded Macrium and guided its growth to date, will continue with the company, advising on leading innovation and continuing to nurture the technical excellence and developer-led roots, the organisation's DNA, that has been the foundation of Macrium's success.

With the overall data protection and disaster recovery market expected to reach over $610 billion by 2032, Joyce's appointment comes at a pivotal time for the company.

 

Dave Joyce, CEO at Macrium, said, "The scale of the opportunity in the backup and disaster recovery industry over the coming years is huge, largely driven by the ceaseless pressure on businesses to be cyber resilient and keep up with evolving regulations. Take the new NIS2 directive coming into effect in October - it's a prime example of how today's regulations are pushing companies to prioritize cyber resilience."

Joyce added, "We're also seeing how rapid advancements in technology are reshaping the industry. AI is a great example - it's an amazing tool for innovation, but it can also be a serious threat to business security if misused. The need for organisations to adapt their thinking from reactive security measures to proactive cyber resilience is crucial, and a solid backup and disaster recovery strategy is the backbone of it."

The company’s flagship product, Macrium Reflect, goes beyond simple backups to ensure true business continuity. By staying ahead of industry-specific challenges, Reflect empowers organizations to maintain operations even in the most critical scenarios. This commitment to innovation is what drew Joyce to Macrium.

“When Nick offered me the role it was, quite literally, an irresistible opportunity to join a team with so much experience, energy and passion for solving our customers' problems, a testament to Nick and the business he has built.

As CEO, I am focused on maintaining our brand as a provider of high-quality, well-engineered products, further developing the product suite, and working to enhance our customer service and reach into core markets. We have the best product in the market, which our customers love. Now it is time to ensure we fully embrace this opportunity and grow the business to its full potential,” added Joyce.

 

Headquartered in Manchester, the UK's emerging technology hub, with a sister office in Denver, Colorado, Macrium has established a transatlantic presence that serves clients worldwide. Through its product suite, the company caters to organizations with complex information technology and operational technology needs across diverse industries and infrastructures.

 

 

“Nick and his team have built a range of products acknowledged globally as an industry benchmark, evidenced by a loyal customer base of internationally recognised logos. These businesses have placed their trust in this iconic brand and the team who have built it. To paraphrase customer feedback, Macrium Reflect is “easy to use, and hard not to love.

By staying true to our underlying culture and values of pride, passion, and technical excellence, we will continue to drive innovation in the sector and broaden our product portfolio to meet the fast-moving challenges of our customers' cybersecurity needs,” concluded Joyce.
