Ancoris appoints new CEO

Pure-play Google Cloud expert Ancoris has appointed Andre Azevedo as CEO, taking over the reins from founder David McLeman who will remain on the board as vice-chair. 

Azevedo (pictured left), who joined Ancoris in March as COO, has nearly a decade of experience in the public cloud, having previously held several senior leadership positions at Cloudreach across sales and marketing, finance and operations, M&A and cloud delivery practices. Before then, he held positions at SAP, Oracle and Dell.

“I’m proud of our achievements as pioneers in cloud computing in the UK and the business is in great shape for the future,” said David McLeman. “I am delighted to hand over the reins to Andre, who as COO, has led our sales, marketing and delivery teams since joining us at the beginning of this year. We have a strong management team in place and I look forward to continuing to support them and Andre as we take on the accelerated growth journey ahead of us with BTPE’s investment.”

Ancoris claims to have extensive cloud expertise, achieving over ten years of continuous growth with its Google Cloud business, and recently secured a significant investment from Birmingham’s Beech Tree Private Equity (BTPE).

“Ancoris is leading the way in the Google Cloud ecosystem, by creating differentiated IP and offerings with true business impact,” added Paul Franks, managing partner at Beech Tree Private Equity. “We are delighted that Andre will take over the leadership of the business from David, providing continuity as we enter the next phase of growth.”
