New CEO for Kroll

March 18, 2014

Kroll Ontrack, owner of search suite Engenium, has a new CEO with a financial focus. BusinessWire‘s “Kroll Appoints New Chief Executive Officer, Emanuele A. Conti” has us wondering whether Kroll disappointed its stakeholders. Here’s the passage that caught our attention:

“Charlie Gottdiener, head of Portfolio Operations for Providence Equity Partners and Chairman of Kroll, said, ‘I feel very confident in the future we will forge under Manny’s leadership. He has a deep understanding of the international consulting and data-intensive markets that Kroll operates in and a solid track record for improving operations and delivering strong financial results. I believe his knowledge and wealth of leadership experience combined with his entrepreneurial spirit will help us achieve the full potential of our multifaceted Kroll businesses.'”

For his part, Conti says he is looking forward to working at the “iconic and high-energy organization.” His background spans several industries and emphasizes performance and growth. Kroll Ontrack began as a software outfit in 1985, and its work with damaged hard drives led to its focus on data recovery. The company snapped up conceptual-search firm Engenium in 2006. Kroll is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
