Epicor has announced that Vaibhav Vohra will succeed Steve Murphy as CEO, effective 1 October. Murphy, who led the company to over $1 billion in annual recurring revenue, will step down at the end of the fiscal year but remain on the Board of Directors. Vohra, currently President and Chief Product and Technology Officer, will oversee the software firm’s continued focus on AI and cloud transformation.
“It has been a privilege to serve Epicor and the talented team behind it,” said Steve Murphy. “We’ve sharpened Epicor’s focus on the customers and industries we serve, and I’m proud of what this team has accomplished. With the company performing well and a clear strategy in place, this is the right time for a change. Vaibhav has been instrumental in shaping our product and technology direction, and he is the right leader for what comes next.”
Starting his journey in 2021 as Chief Product Officer at Epicor, Vohra was appointed as President in October 2024. The company stated Murphy and Vohra will closely work together to ensure a smooth transition and business continuity.
“Vaibhav is a proven leader with deep experience in enterprise software, and I am confident he is the right person to lead Epicor into its next chapter,” said Jeff Hawn, Chair of Epicor’s Board of Directors. “On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Steve for his outstanding leadership at Epicor and the strong foundation he leaves in place.”
The company further stated Vora has led Epicor’s product strategy, development, management and design, and has been central to advancing the company’s cloud, AI and data supply chain vision. Before Epicor, he built and scaled technology businesses, including as a product leader at Gecko Robotics, and held executive product roles at SAP.
“I am honored to lead Epicor as we enter a new era of transformation across enterprise software. Over the past five years, I’ve seen firsthand the people, customers, and partners that make this company special. Our focus remains on helping our customers grow and succeed in an increasingly dynamic world,” said Vohra. “I want to thank Steve for his exceptional leadership and for all he has done to position Epicor for continued success.”
Under Steve’s guidance, Epicor strengthened its position as a SaaS leader in industry-focused ERP, accelerated its transition to a cloud-first business, expanded its capabilities through sustained innovation and strategic acquisitions, and surpassed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue.
