Rania New CEO to lead company’s next phase of innovation, platform depth and customer-centric growth
Miami, FL: Kaseya has announced the appointment of Rania Succar as Chief Executive Officer. Succar joins Kaseya at a time when the company has reached impressive global scale, serving nearly 50,000 managed service providers (MSPs) and internal IT customers that support hundreds of thousands of SMBs through its comprehensive IT and security management platform.
Succar has a proven track record of accelerating growth and driving customer-focused innovation. Over the past nine years at Intuit, she led large-scale businesses helping small and mid-market companies thrive. As Head of QuickBooks Money, her teams improved financial outcomes for businesses—enabling faster payments, easier access to capital and smarter cash flow forecasting. Under her leadership, the platform saw significant growth in payments volume and expanded access to capital for small businesses. More recently, as Head of Intuit Mailchimp, she fueled revenue growth for small businesses by introducing advanced AI and SMS capabilities, expanding international reach and leading the platform’s integration into Intuit’s ecosystem. She also brings valuable experience from prior roles at Google, McKinsey and Merrill Lynch.
“We’re very proud of the scale and impact Kaseya has achieved—becoming a critical platform for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) supporting small and mid-sized businesses navigating increasingly complex IT and security demands,” said Mike Triplett, Chairman of the Board at Kaseya and Managing Director at Insight Partners. “In our search for a new CEO, we sought a leader with the vision and capability to elevate Kaseya into one of the most essential platforms for MSPs and the broader SMB technology ecosystem. Rania’s bold leadership and track record in building and scaling innovative, customer-centric businesses for the SMB market make her an ideal leader to guide Kaseya into its next chapter and potential IPO.
“It’s a privilege to join Kaseya and contribute to a mission that deeply resonates with me,” said Succar. “Kaseya plays a vital role—alongside its MSP partners in more than 170 countries—in helping small and mid-sized businesses thrive in an increasingly complex digital landscape. I look forward to working hand in hand with our MSP partners to drive even greater outcomes for SMBs and to build on Kaseya’s strong foundation. The opportunity ahead is immense.”
A new independent study conducted by the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) has validated the performance benefits of a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) mounting bracket developed by British manufacturer Gardner Engineering Ltd.

Recent breaches at major UK retailers, combined with the approaching end of life of Windows 10, highlights a critical moment for IT resilience planning.
