Redstor Appoints James Griffin as CEO

NORWALK, Conn.– (BUSINESS WIRE) – Redstor, the smart, cloud backup platform of choice for MSPs, today announced James Griffin has been promoted to CEO.

Serving as Redstor’s Chief Product Officer (CPO) since 2019, Griffin has been instrumental in developing technology that enables MSPs to discover, manage and protect customer data in the simplest, smartest and safest way.

Griffin takes charge of Redstor after working closely with previous CEO and Co-Founder, Paul Evans, who is stepping into a board and advisory role. Evans led the company for 24 years and through its recent, significant period of acceleration following an investment from Bregal Milestone.

Redstor posted record growth in 2022, accelerated by a push into the U.S., a market that now accounts for more than 20% of its global customer base. The company also increased employees by 35% in order to facilitate continued expansion, technical innovation and the release of innovative new products.

Griffin has held strategic and technical leadership positions for Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud providers across international markets. Prior to his CPO role at Redstor, he was Chief Cloud Evangelist for Vodafone, devising strategy for its global cloud and hosting business. Griffin was also senior director of strategy and programs for IRIS Software, a post that included go-to-market initiatives and merger and acquisition development. He was also appointed to the Board of Directors for Level 10 Software to oversee that company’s successful acquisition by Iris.
