Rackspace Technology, a leading end-to-end, hybrid multicloud technology solutions company, announced the appointment of Mark Marino as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Marino previously served as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer and succeeds Naushaza “Bobby” Molu. Molu resigned his position to pursue a new opportunity in the UK, where he resides. He will remain with Rackspace Technology in an advisory role through late February to ensure a seamless transition.
“I am delighted to welcome Mark as our CFO,” said Amar Maletira, Chief Executive Officer. “Having worked with Mark since I joined Rackspace, I have witnessed firsthand what a strong asset he is to our company. Mark’s comprehensive understanding of the business and extensive financial leadership experience will continue to be instrumental as we strengthen our position in an attractive and growing hybrid multicloud and AI market. I look forward to collaborating with Mark as we continue to execute on our strategy and deliver value to our shareholders.”
