SIIA’s TechChats provides a look into some of the most successful executives in our industry. Hear how many of them got to where they are today, what is shaping their businesses and the industry today, and special advice they would give to others trying to grow a successful company.

I recently sat down with Chris McNabb, CEO of Dell Boomi to discuss his 2017 Company CODiE Win for Enterprise CEO of the Year. I have known Chris for eight years, since he took over as CEO at Boomi. It has been amazing to watch him and his team grow the business from a couple hundred customers to over 7000 customers today. Along with growing their customer base, this year marked their first user conference, new marque channel partners and the acquisition of ManyWho. Under Chris’ leadership Dell Boomi has established themselves as a leading integration platform as a service.

The SIIA Company CODiE Award for Enterprise CEO of the Year recognizes an enterprise leader who has demonstrated significant leadership, resulting in the success of the company, its employees and the community. It is an honor to recognize Chris for his accomplishments through this award.

Chris is responsible for all operations and strategic direction at Dell Boomi. He brings over 20 years of software development and line of business experience from a diverse set of prior roles that include software development, professional services, LOB leader and consulting. In his role at Dell Boomi, Chris is constantly engaged with customers and partners to ensure alignment between business needs and Dell Boomi’s strategy and operations. Chris started his career in software development in the financial services sector holding various engineering and management roles.

Chris attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania (MIS) and Villanova (Business).
