LOS ANGELES-(Business thread) – Kinsta, a leading managed hosting provider for WordPress, has named Jon Penland as Chief Executive Officer to double the exceptional product and award -winning customer -oriented growth strategy of the company. Kinsta also appointed Matt Reid, former senior vice -president at BigCommerce, as his new Chief Marketing Officer.
Kinsta has a long-term record of delivering function-rich, extensive hosting services in combination with extraordinary customer experience for more than a decade. Penland and Reid will lead the company’s mission to support website owners and developers.
Penland started about nine years ago in Kinsta as a support engineer and rose due to a number of roles in sales, operations and customer success, to Chief Operating Officer before he was appointed CEO. He strongly believes in Kinsta’s culture to combine quality, service and value for the industry.
The CEO transition is not expected to produce great shifts, because Penland has already been involved in the leadership of the company. In the past six years in the board of directors, he has been deeply involved in guiding the most important decisions of Kinsta.
“I came to Kinsta nine years ago because I was impressed by the reputation for leading high quality performance,” said Penland. “Since then we have built on those qualities and have become stronger over time. I believe that we are the best in the world of what we do. But we can be even better. There is a lot of room for us to grow. We see an enormous opportunity to help customers adapt to mass shifts in how the world discovers, consumes and floating. Heaven is the limit.”
“Jon is the perfect person to lead Kinsta in his new phase of growth. He knows the company and everyone – has worked throughout the organization to build what it is today,” said former CEO of Kinsta, Mark Gavalda, who is staying with the company as founder, chairman and board member. “With Jon’s steady leadership, Kinsta continues to work to ensure that our stimuli are tailored to the success of our customers.”
Reid was hired to bring its strong background effective marketing to small, business and desk customers, and to accelerate Kinsta’s growth and go-to-market strategy. He has a unique mix of experience with achieving top agencies and companies of all sizes.
“I am very happy to come to Kinsta in this exciting phase of expansion,” said Reid. “The impressive track record of the company of revenue growth and profitability, world -class service and product innovation is a recipe for success. I am looking forward to working with the team to broaden our global impact even further.”
“Matt’s deep understanding of the entire funnel will overload our efforts for marketing and partnership efforts,” said Penland. “I am excited to see how he leads Kinsta when we go into our new phase of growth.”
