Insight Partners' $5 billion buyout of Veeam Software, the 28th M&A deal ChannelE2E has covered in 2020, calls for the cloud data protection, backup and disaster recovery (BDR) software company to have a new CEO -- namely, William H. Largent. But who is Largent, and how might he manage Veeam?The answers to those questions should give Veeam partners -- VARs, MSPs, cloud services providers and strategic alliance members -- some peace of mind.Perhaps most importantly, Largent is a 12-year veteran of Veeam. He most recently was VP of operations at the data protection company. That means he's intimately familiar with all of Veeam's day-to-day functions, focus areas and key team members.As such, partners should expect some consistency as Insight Partners strives to complete the acquisition this quarter; Veeam relocates its headquarters from Switzerland to New York; and as the company prepares for the VeeamOn 2020 conference in May.
