Diversified announced that Paul Lidsky has been appointed CEO, expanding his leadership role beyond chairman of the board, a position he has held since 2023. The company said Lidsky will guide the next stage of its growth, focusing on global market expansion and service delivery improvements.

“Paul is a highly respected leader with deep expertise in the technology services industry and a strong history of building great companies with a focus on the people and partnerships that drive success and serve their clients,” said Will Fleder, partner at Tailwind Capital, Diversified’s primary investor. “We are confident that his leadership and experience will further strengthen Diversified’s position as a global leader and accelerate its continued growth.”

Lidsky brings more than four decades of experience in IT solutions and technology services. Before joining Diversified, he served as CEO of Core BTS, president and CEO of Datalink Corp., and CEO of Calabrio. His career also includes executive roles at OneLink, Spanlink Communications, and Norstan.

“Diversified’s strength has always come from doing the fundamentals exceptionally well, delivering quality, expertise, and consistency in support of our clients,” Lidsky said. “I’ve had the privilege of serving as chairman and working closely with this team, and I see extraordinary opportunity ahead. As CEO, my focus is on building on that momentum by continuing to invest in our people, our partners, and the technologies that matter most to our clients.”

The leadership change follows recent company milestones, including Diversified’s expansion in the EMEA region with the opening of a new strategic hub in Germany. The facility provides regional engineering, project execution, and client support as part of the company’s broader plan to enhance its international operations.
