Spinnaker Support Welcomes Rex Young as the New Chief Information Officer

In a significant move aimed at enhancing its global operations, Spinnaker Support has appointed Rex Young as the Chief Information Officer (CIO). This announcement comes as the third-party software support leader seeks to strengthen its position in the market and respond to the increasing demand from its 1,300+ global clients.

Rex Young's Vision and Experience

Rex Young, who brings over 25 years of experience in technology leadership, has a proven track record in IT, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Reporting directly to CEO Matt Stava, Young will spearhead Spinnaker’s global technology strategy, crucial for the company’s expansion into supporting platforms like Oracle, SAP, VMware, and PostgreSQL.

Young’s primary mandate includes the modernization of Spinnaker's technology platforms, enhancing data analytics capabilities, and fortifying cybersecurity measures. His strategy encompasses innovative approaches to AI, including tools like Navigator and Spinnaker Intelligence, which aim to expedite issue resolution and bolster security across all departments.

“Spinnaker's technology capabilities are at the heart of our operations and customer interactions,” stated CEO Matt Stava. “Rex’s extensive experience in transforming complex tech systems into growth engines will significantly enhance our service delivery.”

Driving Technological Innovation

As part of his strategic focus, Young aims to simplify operational processes, allowing AI to play a more significant role beyond mere task automation. His vision includes utilizing AI to secure systems rather than merely expanding vulnerabilities while providing engineers with quicker insights rather than irrelevant data noise. Young emphasizes the importance of integrating technology that not only supports internal functions but also offers direct benefits to customers.

“I look forward to working closely with Matt and the leadership team as we navigate this period of substantial growth. The success of Spinnaker hinges on our ability to align technology with strategic objectives,” Young mentioned in a recent statement.

Company Growth and Expansion

Spinnaker Support has seen remarkable growth, maintaining double-digit revenue growth as enterprises increasingly opt for independent support for greater control and adaptability. The demand for support across Oracle, SAP, and VMware platforms is on the rise, with expansion opportunities unfolding with both new and existing customers.

In March 2026, Spinnaker further solidified its global outreach by opening a new office in South Africa, in collaboration with African Rainbow Capital. This regional delivery and engineering hub enhances Spinnaker's ability to serve clients across Africa and sub-Saharan regions.

Additionally, Spinnaker’s VMware practice has adapted to the recent changes in Broadcom's subscription licensing, successfully signing numerous enterprise clients and committing to indefinite support beyond Broadcom's October 2025 end-of-support deadline. This proactive approach demonstrates Spinnaker's dedication to customer satisfaction, which currently averages a remarkable 94% rating.
