As EVP of ConvergeOne, Craig was responsible for its Cloud, CX, Managed Services and Marketing business units leading the team to both strong multi-year growth results and employee engagement scores.
“First and foremost, we love that Craig is such a great fit culturally, that is very important to us,” said Tommy Mullins, Chief Revenue Officer at Connext. “And when you combine that with his strong technology background and experience leading organizations focused on driving growth through Services, we immediately saw in Craig, a leader who well poised to lead us to new heights.
