GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Washingtoner -- VERVINT, a subsidiary of Koniag Capital, is excited to announce the appointment of Robert Elliott as its first Chief Revenue Officer. With more than 20 years of experience in IT and services, Elliott is set to lead Vervint's local, regional, and national expansion through building a scalable, world-class sales organization.

Robert Elliott joins Vervint as the inaugural Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) from Launch by NTT Data, where he served as General Manager and Vice President of the Healthcare Life Sciences and Public Sector portfolios. In addition, he has held leadership positions at Globant, The Home Depot, and Turner Broadcasting Systems. Elliott has a Management Information Systems degree from Auburn University and an MBA from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Elliott's appointment as CRO is part of a leadership transition that marks a new chapter for Vervint. He joins newly appointed President and Chief Consulting Officer, Chuck Tsocanos, and Chief Finance and Operations Officer, Robin Kleinjans-McKee, who has been with Vervint since 2020.

"I'm thrilled about the future of Vervint as we deepen our commitment to a human-centered approach and customer obsession. Bringing Robert on board as our CRO enhances our ability to deliver integrated solutions across experience design, custom development, data analytics, cloud, infrastructure, and managed services. His deep expertise in healthcare and other industries will be instrumental in advancing our mission to improve customer, patient, and clinician experiences," said Chuck Tsocanos, "'People at the Heart' has always been a core value at Vervint, and our goal is to bring that philosophy to our clients—partnering with them to co-develop and support technology that drives better experiences."
