Klipboard appoints Tocher as chief customer support officer

Klipboard has appointed Chris Tocher as chief customer support officer.

Tocher has succeeded Chris Owen, who has retired after what Klipboard said had been a distinguished career with the business.

Tocher joined Klipboard in September 2025, in preparation for Owen’s retirement. Since joining, he has led Klipboard’s technical support, cloud hosting, managed services, professional services and client success teams.

Klipboard said Tocher has more than 20 years of industry experience, including senior leadership positions at Cisco and IMImobile.

Ian Bendelow, CEO at Klipboard, said: “Since joining Klipboard, he has already made a significant impact across our customer-facing teams. His experience, values and passion for developing people make him the ideal person to take on this role as we continue to scale and support our customers worldwide.”

On Owen’s retirement, Bendelow said: “His leadership, professionalism and genuine care for both customers and colleagues have shaped our global support operations. We thank him sincerely for his years of service and wish him all the best in his retirement.”
