    S7E6: Tate Talks - With Christian Nagele, 1E

    Welcome to Tate Talks This is the final episode of Season Seven and it was great to end it chatting to MSP legend and all round good egg, Christian Nagele. About Christian From my early career at PricewaterHouse Coopers, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, I felt drawn to small, entrepreneurial businesses. This led me to found CentraStage in 2007, with the goal of delivering a simple, affordable cloud-based endpoint management technology.Driving a software start-up through a recession required an interesting blend of skills, determination and commitment, which resulted in CentraStage being acquired in 2014 by US-headquartered Autotask (backed by Vista Equity Partners). This heralded a wonderful opportunity to take our technology global, a journey which continued to accelerate following our merger with Datto in December 2017. Three more years of electric growth and we grew revenues 30x since acquisition, becoming the market leader in our sector. Datto IPO'd on the NYSE in November 2020. After 15 years building and growing CentraStage it was time for a new challenge, and after a year working with SenseOn, a UK Series A cybersecurity company, I am delighted to be joining forces again with former colleagues to help drive the UK tech success story that is 1E.
