Pax8, which offers a cloud commerce marketplace, appointed Scott Chasin as CEO, effective immediately.
Chasin, the company’s CTO since 2021, will lead the company, overseeing day-to-day operations and driving the strategic vision for Pax8’s marketplace technology. He succeeds founder, John Street, who will continue as chairman, providing oversight and focusing on strategic activities.
“Today marks the beginning of a new era at Pax8, as it is my pleasure to announce that Scott Chasin is officially now the CEO,” said Street. “I met Scott at the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey nearly three decades ago and have seen first-hand how he leads, dreams and executes. He has a strong vision and the potential to take Pax8 further as a product-led technology company. Pax8 is on track to become an iconic brand, and I am thrilled to leave it in such capable hands and excited for what comes next.”
As CTO, Chasin grew Pax8’s team of engineers and product developers, led R&D initiatives and developed the company’s technology roadmap. This includes the 2023 unveiling of the future of Pax8’s Marketplace, which is designed to allow partners and vendors with data-driven insight and capabilities to accelerate growth.
“Under John’s leadership, Pax8 has achieved extraordinary success, growing from a small technology startup to a leading global company,” said Chasin. “As I step into the CEO role, I’m humbled and energized by the vast potential ahead. According to Canalys, ninety-nine percent of companies worldwide are small-midsized businesses, which rely heavily on IT solution providers for their technology adoption and integrations. Through our innovative Marketplace, top-tier enablement programs, and connected community, Pax8 will empower our partners’ success and propel businesses around the world into the digital future.”
Chasin, a serial entrepreneur with over 30 years of leadership experience, has founded and led technology startups such as USA.NET, MX Logic and ProtectWise. As an early pioneer of cloud-based technologies, he has dedicated much of his professional efforts to developing cutting-edge solutions that address evolving market demands. Beyond his executive leadership experience, Chasin has also served on the boards of various organizations, providing strategic oversight and guidance to help new entrants navigate the dynamic technology landscape.
