Boston, MA – January 6, 2026 – InterSystems, a creative data technology company, today announced that, effective immediately, Don Woodlock has been appointed President, responsible for leading the company’s daily operations. After leading the company for over 47 years, Founder, Owner, and CEO Phillip “Terry” Ragon will step back from day-to-day management responsibilities to focus on guiding the company’s business and technology strategy. Ragon will continue to serve as CEO and work closely with the leadership team to ensure a seamless transition that maintains the company’s commitment to excellence and customer success.
“During my address at Global Summit 2023, I spoke about how strong, stable cultures are resilient and how culture is the strongest indicator of future success,” said Ragon. “I believe the culture we have built at InterSystems is truly self-sustaining, and it is time for the next generation to be the stewards of what we have all worked so hard to achieve.”
Woodlock has been with InterSystems for 8 years as Vice President for Healthcare. He brings deep industry expertise, technical acumen, and a shared commitment to InterSystems customer-first culture.
“Terry has been a role model and mentor to me since I joined InterSystems in 2017,” said Woodlock. “My experience with the company began decades earlier when I used its products, first in technical roles and later as the leader of a business unit delivering healthcare solutions. This real-world customer experience, combined with InterSystems technology, financial and organizational strengths, fuel my passion for helping to lead the company into its next era of success.”
