Mark Templeton, Former Citrix CEO, Joins Workspot Board of Directors

Computing Industry Visionary Will Help Guide the Growth of Workspot’s Enterprise Desktop Cloud

Workspot, the Enterprise Desktop Cloud company, announced that Mark Templeton, former Citrix CEO, has joined Workspot’s board of directors as an independent director. Previously, he had been serving as a member of Workspot’s advisory board. Templeton has played a foundational role in the evolution of virtual desktops in the end-user computing industry and shares Workspot’s vision for transforming the enterprise desktop into a 100% cloud-native business utility service delivered from any hyperscale cloud.

Increased data security risks, work-from-anywhere requirements, gig economy trends and cloud transformation investments by enterprises are driving the growth in fully cloud-native, enterprise desktop services. Templeton’s inventive thinking, in conjunction with his expertise in building and scaling software businesses, resulted in Citrix growing revenue from $15 million to over $3 billion during his 20 year tenure. His experience will help Workspot grow the primary market for desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) as a mainstream element of enterprise cloud transformation.
