“I am very pleased to welcome such exceptional talent to the organization,” said Mike Crest, CEO of Arcserve. “They each have a proven ability to deliver on hyper growth strategies and exceed high standards for customer centricity. In combination with their deep industry expertise and our global development initiatives, we are well positioned to have a breakout year.”

Prior to Cachet, he led finance divisions as Chief Financial Officer at several leading technology companies, including storage solutions developer, Xiotech Corp, Wireless Ronin Technologies (acquired by marketing-tech firm, Creative Realities, in 2004) and Stellent Inc., where he played a significant role in the acquisition by Oracle in 2006.
McAreavey brings over two decades of public and privately-held financial experience to his new role, where he is responsible for optimizing Arcserve’s double-digital growth strategy. “It’s evident that Arcserve has achieved impressive gains in market share over the past year, and I look forward to overseeing Arcserve’s strategies for further expansion,” McAreavey said.
