Jason Kemsley Named a 2026 MSPInfluencer Channel Leader
Helping MSPs Build the Operational Capacity to Scale
Jason Kemsley, Chief Revenue Officer and co-owner of Uptime Global, has been named a 2026 ForzaDash MSPInfluencer Channel Leader Award winner.
The recognition honors Jason’s practical, partner-focused approach to helping managed service providers strengthen their operations, support customers, and scale with greater confidence.
During his 17 years in the channel, Jason has helped grow Uptime from a two-person business into a global organization with more than 200 employees supporting over 500 MSPs.
Turning Operational Excellence Into MSP Growth
Uptime provides dedicated engineers in South Africa and Sri Lanka, a white-label global help desk, and 24/7 network operations center services.
These resources allow MSPs to expand their delivery capacity without losing focus on customer relationships and business outcomes. The company summarizes its approach simply: Uptime focuses on the help desk and engineers so its partners can focus on their customers.
According to Uptime, its partners grow an average of 1.7% faster than the wider market and achieve retention levels comparable to the top 10% of MSPs globally.
Jason is especially proud of helping nearly 150 one-person MSPs pursue their ambitions and build more scalable businesses.
Partnership Built on Accountability
Jason’s leadership philosophy emphasizes transparency, direct access, and shared accountability.
Every Uptime partner—from the smallest account to the largest—has access to company ownership. The aim is to ensure that partners receive consistent attention, an honest response when challenges arise, and a genuine duty of care.
Rather than relying on feedback from a small advisory group, Uptime’s leadership meets with randomly selected partners each month. These conversations provide broader insight into partner priorities, roadmaps, and the overall health of each relationship.
Growing Independently and Globally
Uptime remains independently owned and reports annual growth of approximately 25%. Jason’s next goal is to reach MSPs outside the traditional event and vendor ecosystems.
His selection as a 2026 MSPInfluencer Channel Leader recognizes the importance of operational leadership within the channel. By giving MSPs access to engineering resources, dependable support, and accountable relationships, Jason helps partners build businesses capable of sustainable growth.
Congratulations to Jason Kemsley and Uptime Global on this well-deserved recognition.
