Soutron Global, an internationally recognized SaaS provider of information management and digital preservation solutions for archives, libraries, museums and knowledge hubs, has announced that Brad Frasher has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective October 6, 2025, succeeding Tony Saadat, who will be transitioning into an advisory role continuing to support the company and leadership team.

"Brad brings the strategic vision and operational expertise needed to accelerate Soutron Global's next chapter of growth," said Bart Macdonald, Managing Partner at Bloom Equity Partners, co-owner of Soutron Global. "His proven track record in scaling SaaS businesses and driving customer success aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver world-class library and knowledge management solutions."

Saadat, who has led Soutron Global for more than a decade, expressed gratitude to employees, clients, and partners for their support: "It has been the privilege of my career to lead Soutron Global and to work with such a talented and passionate team," states Tony. "I am proud of what we have accomplished together with our customers and partners. With Brad's leadership and the continued backing of Bloom Equity and Atlasview, I am confident the company will continue to thrive."

This change comes at a time of strength and momentum for Soutron Global, as the company continues growth through its strategic acquisitions. Over the past 12 months, Soutron Global has welcomed Auto-Graphics and MINISIS into the Soutron team. These acquisitions have significantly expanded our product portfolio and service capabilities, reinforcing our position as a global leader in archives, library, museum and information management systems.

"Soutron Global has a rich history of innovation and an extraordinary team dedicated to empowering libraries and archives around the world," said Bart Macdonald, Managing Partner at Bloom Equity. "With the successful acquisitions of Auto-Graphics and MINISIS and the appointment of Brad as CEO, Soutron is poised to capture even more opportunities in this expanding market."

With this new leadership, Soutron Global clients can expect:

• Continued Innovation – Under Brad's leadership, Soutron Global will accelerate product development and enhance the features and functionality of the solutions you rely on every day.
• Expanded Services – With the integration of Auto-Graphics and MINISIS, we are investing in broader software and services offerings that deliver more value, flexibility and scalability to meet the evolving needs of our global base of clients.
• Customer Commitment – Our mission remains the same: to empower library, archive, museum and information professionals with secure, flexible and innovative solutions. Strengthening customer relationships will be a top priority.
