Mill Point Capital accelerates investments to manage continued high growth

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pythian Services Inc. (“Pythian”), a leading cloud, data, and analytics services company, announced the appointment of Keith Angell as its Chief Executive Officer, as well as a reorganization of the executive team, as it positions for accelerated growth. The growth is being driven by several market factors, as well as Pythian’s recent acquisition of Agosto, LLC (“Agosto”), a Google Cloud Premier Partner and leading cloud services and development company. Pythian is owned by Mill Point Capital, a leading mid-market private equity firm.

“The appointment of Keith Angell is another critical investment by Mill Point Capital to position Pythian as the leading worldwide Google Cloud and data analytics provider. As part of our go-to-market strategy we will continue to hire the best and brightest talent around the globe. Keith Angell is an exceptional leader with a successful track record,” said Pythian Executive Chairman Michael Perdue. “We will continue to invest in the organization to expand our offerings and the value we provide to our customers and to the market.”

As CEO of Pythian, Angell will lead the company through its next critical stage of growth in the enterprise cloud, data and analytics market. Angell brings more than 30 years of experience in C-level and board positions at venture capital and private equity-backed high growth technology companies, most recently joining the Pythian Board of Directors after the Mill Point acquisition. Previously, Angell was President and CEO of Velocity Technology Solutions, a Silver Lake portfolio company.

“As enterprises move to transform their business by leveraging data and analytics in the cloud, Pythian has an enormous opportunity to become their trusted advisor and services partner,” said Angell. “I’m excited to join the company as CEO and work alongside its outstanding team of leaders.”

Keith Millar, with Pythian since 2009, will expand his role as President at Pythian. Other executive leadership appointments include:
Aric Bandy, Executive Vice President, Corporate Development
