RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--insightsoftware, a global provider of reporting, analytics, and performance management solutions, today announced the appointment of Michael Sullivan as Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Sullivan joins insightsoftware from Acquia, a digital experience software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, where he was President and CEO for five years. Regarded for his entrepreneurial spirit and deep understanding of product development, Sullivan is an established leader in scaling SaaS companies, notably accelerating Acquia's growth through product innovation and numerous strategic acquisitions. Early in his career, Sullivan founded and led Steelpoint Technologies, which became a leader in the eDiscovery space. He was Founder and CEO through its acquisition by Zantaz, which then was acquired by HP Autonomy. Sullivan went on to hold multiple senior leadership roles at Hewlett Packard Enterprise before supporting the merger of Micro Focus and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's software business.
Sullivan holds many awards and accolades for his achievements. In October 2022, he was named among the top 50 SaaS CEOs of 2022. In December 2018, he was named among the Best CEOs by Comparably. Earlier in his career – in 2000 and 2004 – he was recognized by Ernst & Young as an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist.
