Frock, who joined Datavail in 2015, had been Chief Operating Officer for three years, where he managed Datavail’s 24x7x365 delivery practices, oversaw many of the corporate support functions and integrated four acquisitions into Datavail’s managed service platform. He was responsible for the development of Datavail’s TechBoostTM and ServiceBoostTM intellectual property that automates the management and monitoring of client systems. Prior to joining Datavail, he was a founder and led the Cloud Services Division of Highstreet IT Solutions and held a series of leadership positions at CIBER, including VP of International Managed Services.
