Chris Day, who co-founded the company in 2015 (originally named Warranty Master), expressed his enthusiasm for his new role as CEO. “It is with heartfelt gratitude that I step into this role,” said Day. “Dan has led ScalePad to 10X growth during his five-year tenure—an achievement beyond our wildest dreams.
