Stone-Goff Portfolio Company BigScoots Appoints Nikhil Harsh as President

Stone-Goff Partners ("SGP"), a growth-oriented private equity firm focused on technology-driven business-to-business services companies active in the knowledge economy, today announced the appointment of Nikhil Harsh as President of SGP portfolio company BigScoots (the "Company"), a fully managed hosting and technical services provider for business-critical web applications, known for top-of-market performance, security, and hands-on human support, with deep roots in the WordPress ecosystem.

Nikhil brings leadership experience in scaling high-growth technology companies and driving organizational transformation. His career has largely been centered around helping companies improve operational rigor and develop commercial best practices, including senior operating roles across revenue, customer success, and operations functions. Earlier in his career, Nikhil served as VP of Customer Success and VP of Revenue Operations at Datto, a leading provider of cloud-based software and technology solutions for managed service providers. Before moving into operating roles, Nikhil worked as a private equity investor.

"Scott Stapley, Justin Catello and the entire BigScoots team have built a great business with a strong foundation, a loyal client base, and a service reputation that stands apart in the industry," said Laurens Goff, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Stone-Goff. "Nikhil has scaled organizations through exactly the kind of growth BigScoots is pursuing today. We expect his operational experience and go-to-market perspective to be a meaningful accelerant as the Company continues to scale."

Nikhil's appointment marks a significant milestone for BigScoots as the Company expands into adjacent markets, broadens its customer base, and invests in its product and platform. Today, more than 12,000 businesses run their sites and applications on infrastructure the Company owns and operates.

"BigScoots has earned its reputation the hard way, by delivering for clients every single day for more than 16 years," said Nikhil. "That foundation is rare, and it's what attracted me to this opportunity. I look forward to working with Scott, Justin and the team to extend our reach into new parts of the market while protecting the performance, security, and client experience that got the Company here."
