Workspot, the Enterprise VDI platform built for the multi-cloud
and hybrid era, announced today that it has appointed Brad Tompkins
as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately. Tompkins
previously served as the company’s President and Chief Operating
Officer (COO). His appointment is a significant moment for
Workspot.
Tompkins’ deep understanding of the VDI market and experience
building robust high growth companies will be invaluable in guiding
Workspot's go-to-market strategy and signals the company’s
readiness for rapid growth. With Tompkins as CEO, Workspot is
poised to deliver what customers need most from VDI – simplicity,
speed, and scalability at a predictable cost.
“I had the pleasure of working with Brad during my tenure as CEO
of Citrix, where he thrived as an enterprise sales executive. He
was a key part of the IGEL leadership team that transformed the
company into category king. His partner-centric, customer-first
mindset is exactly what Workspot needs for continued growth in
partner relationships and customer loyalty,” said Mark Templeton,
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Workspot. “Brad understands
what customers want from VDI – fast time-to-value, any
infrastructure deployment and consumer-like user experience – and
that delighted customers want a trusted partner, not just vendors.
We’re excited to have Brad, working closely with Amitabh, our
visionary founder, to build the company into a market leader.”
Tompkins becomes CEO after driving major momentum in his role as
COO. During this time, he managed Workspot’s go to market strategy
as it transitioned to a platform company. During this phase,
Workspot achieved 20x growth in New Software ARR and 2.5x growth in
transactional profitability. In his new role, Tompkins will provide
strategic direction and leadership, overseeing all aspects of the
company's operations. Collaborating closely with the leadership
team and board of directors, he will accelerate Workspot's global
growth strategies while optimizing the company's financial
performance, sales engine, and marketing initiatives. In addition,
Tompkins will focus on rebuilding Workspot’s culture and the
Workspot Community.
As part of the transition, Amitabh Sinha, co-Founder and
previous Workspot CEO, has moved to Chief Strategy Officer. Sinha
will continue his hands-on management of the technology to ensure
the company maintains its technical edge. He will focus on
Workspot’s product strategy and roadmap, prioritizing the
incorporation of AI and Machine Learning into Workspot’s solution,
including observability and data modelling capabilities.
“I'm thrilled to hand over the reins to Brad as Workspot's new
CEO. His proven executive track record, combined with top-grading
our go to market team, and depth of experience in the market are
perfect for driving our growth,” said Amitabh Sinha, co-Founder and
Chief Strategy Officer, Workspot. “With Brad at the helm, I’m
excited for our customers and partners, and our hybrid multi-cloud
innovations that allow customers to modernize legacy VDI systems
and expand the exceptional business value that enterprise desktop
and app streaming services can deliver.”
Workspot was designed from the start to reduce the time,
complexity, and costs associated with VDI. As the company
progressed, it established clear product-market fit followed by
steady customer adoption. Agile and innovative, Workspot has been
poised to accommodate ongoing changes in the VDI market, where
leading enterprises are re-evaluating their end-user computing
strategies. The company recognizes that modern VDI is a key driver
of both employee productivity and overall business growth.
Mike Strohl, CEO of e360, stated, “I’m excited to see the
positive changes at Workspot since Brad’s arrival in August of
2023. I’m especially pleased to see the progress that has been made
regarding Workspot’s Channel program. Its new structure
demonstrates Workspot’s move to a ‘channel first’ company and I
look forward to continuing to grow our business together. With Brad
at the helm, I look forward to expanding what is a truly strategic
partnership.”
“This is an exciting time for the industry. We are seeing a
surge in demand for modern solutions that help escape the
limitations of outdated technologies,” said Brad Tompkins, CEO,
Workspot. “I am looking forward to collaborating with our talented
team to empower global organizations worldwide with Workspot’s
groundbreaking solutions, becoming a catalyst for innovation in the
end-user computing space.”
