Epicor Names Vaibhav Vohra as CEO to Succeed Steve Murphy

The transition follows a planned succession process that began with Vohra's appointment as president in October 2024. Murphy will step down at the close of Epicor's fiscal year on September 30 and will continue to serve on the board of directors.

Vohra joined Epicor in 2021 as chief product officer and later became president and chief product and technology officer. In those roles, he led product strategy, development, and design, and played a central role in advancing the company's cloud, AI, and data supply chain vision.

Before Epicor, Vohra held product leadership roles at Gecko Robotics and SAP. He holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management, an MS in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California, and a BS in electrical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.

Under Murphy's leadership, Epicor surpassed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue, strengthened its position as a SaaS leader in industry-specific ERP, and accelerated its shift to a cloud-first business through innovation and acquisitions.

Jeff Hawn, chair of Epicor's board, said Vohra is a proven leader with deep enterprise software experience. Murphy said the company is performing well and has a clear strategy, making it the right time for a leadership change.
