Rick McConnell, president of Akamai Technologies and general manager of the company’s security technology group, has been named CEO of Dynatrace (NYSE: DT) in a move that takes effect Dec. 13.
He will succeed John Van Siclen, who will support the transition as a consultant through May 31, 2022, the company said Monday.
McConnell joined Akamai in 2011 as president of products and development and later he led the company’s web division. During his 10-year tenure, the content delivery network services provider saw its revenue grow from $1 billion to almost $3.5 billion.
He previously served as a vice president at Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), which he joined after the technology conglomerate acquired Latitude Communications.
Dynatrace said Van Siclen has held the CEO role over the past 13 years and guided the company through its public markets debut in the summer of 2019.
