Lightspeed DMS Appoints Brian Provost CEO
Provost has over 15 years of experience as a successful chief executive officer leading software businesses. He most recently served as CEO of iCIMS, a global talent and recruiting SaaS (Software-as -a-Service) company. “Lightspeed has collaborated with recreational dealerships for nearly 40 years, creating industry-specific software solutions to streamline the way dealers work,” he says. “I’m excited about our path forward and our leadership position supporting such a dynamic and growing industry. As we look to the future, our priorities will center around continuing to improve delivering a comprehensive suite of technology solutions with a straightforward purpose in mind: Enable our dealers to operate their businesses successfully and seamlessly and delight their customers.”
Provost’s prior chief executive experience includes other business-essential software companies like Ascentis (now UKG) and Convey Compliance Solution (now Sovos). He is a graduate of Bethel University and a former member of the Board of Trustees. An admitted “fun fanatic,” Provost enjoys spending time outdoors with family and friends when he’s not on the road connecting with customers and employees.
“We are excited to welcome Brian Provost to Lightspeed at this pivotal time in the company’s growth story,” says Doug Bayerd, Managing Partner, Private Equity at Brookfield. “Brian is an excellent leader who enjoys developing people and building strong teams. With his track record of success leading and growing numerous mission-critical software companies, we know we have the right chief executive officer to guide Lightspeed as it accelerates plans to enhance its value for customers.”
