OwnBackup CEO and leadership

Sam Gutmann is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at OwnBackup. He is a software entrepreneur and business builder that pioneered the online and cloud backup and recovery space. Prior to OwnBackup he was an entrepreneur in residence at Golden Seeds focusing his time on helping portfolio companies sharpen their business models as well as the CIO of the global Import/Export trading company, BassTech International. Prior to his current roles, Sam was the CEO of Intronis, an online (cloud) backup software company that he co-founded in 2003. Working as a small-business consultant in the late 1990s, Sam found that many business owners were backing up their data only sporadically when they remembered to do it at all. Sam realized that tapes, disks, and CDs would always create incomplete backup sets. In 2000, together with his co-founders, he began development on the offsite, secure, user-friendly solution that would grow to become Intronis. After three years of research, development, software design, and testing, Intronis was launched in 2003. While CEO of Intronis, Sam focused his time on building a world-class SaaS company with an industry-leading economic model. Through a metrics-driven approach and detailed market segmentation analysis, the team was able to focus on the sales and marketing engine and achieve great ROI while creating a recurring revenue base with organically expanding sales. Prior to Intronis, Sam worked for several years as an independent small-business technology consultant. He is a graduate of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Management Information Systems.
