MSP tech provider inforcer has named Jason Ulacio as senior vice president of business development, to help expand the company’s presence across the global MSP ecosystem.
Prior to joining inforcer, he spent nine years working within business development at Microsoft, as senior business development manager for Microsoft Security. He played a pivotal role in driving Intune and SMB security adoption through product and go-to-market partnerships.
Ulacio said: “Having been deeply involved in the expansion of Microsoft’s SMB security business, I’ve realised that Microsoft’s success in the SMB space is driven by partners, especially MSPs. However, MSPs face real challenges with no native multi-tenancy and a multitude of settings and configurations that are not optimised for MSP operations.
“inforcer solves these issues with precision and empathy for the MSP experience. When I discovered inforcer a year ago, it felt like it had been on the same journey as Microsoft by solving similar problems. I was genuinely inspired by its product, team, and vision. Joining inforcer felt like a natural continuation of my mission in helping MSPs succeed with Microsoft.”
inforcer CEO and co-founder Jamie Daum, added: “Jason’s experience at Microsoft is especially valuable, as we’ve recently become a Microsoft partner in enabling #IntuneForMSPs, helping MSPs unlock the full value of Microsoft 365 and AI-powered services. His background means he is best equipped to understand our capabilities in supporting MSPs in integrating Microsoft tools.”
