RESTON, Va., March 30, 2021 –  ORock® Technologies, Inc., a hybrid cloud service provider, today announced that ORock has appointed Patrick Deane as Chief Financial Officer.

Patrick Deane brings 30 years of strategically focused financial and operational leadership across multiple industries with an emphasis on high-growth companies.

“ORock is at an exciting stage and I’m fortunate to step into a remarkably strong business and leadership team that is ready to push the boundaries of the hybrid cloud market and accelerate our growth to the next level,” said Deane. “Today’s CFO must contribute beyond the typical tactical responsibilities of financial reporting and planning.
