GoDaddy has hired Microsoft veteran Arne Josefsberg as its Chief Information Officer (CIO) with immediate effect.
As GoDaddy’s new executive vice president, chief infrastructure officer and CIO, Josefsberg will oversee the cloud infrastructure and information systems.
He has expertise in building scalable cloud computing environments, data centers, large scale operations and information technology systems.
Josefsberg, a long-time Microsoft veteran, most recently served as chief technology officer at ServiceNow, where he led technology advances and drove expansion of the company’s cloud computing strategy.
