In 2019, Fairchild Resiliency Systems was acquired by ServiceNow, a leading AI-powered cloud platform, to extend its Risk portfolio. The acquisition brought Fairchild's specialized Business Continuity Management (BCM) capabilities, including its flagship MaestroRS application, directly into the Now Platform. This strategic deal allowed ServiceNow to offer customers a unified view of risk by bringing together operational, vendor, and IT risk management with automated disaster recovery planning, which was critical for helping midmarket and enterprise customers become more resilient. Aaron transitioned to a Global Go-To-Market leadership role following the acquisition.
