RTI has appointed Mark Derus to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
In his new role, Derus is charged with ‘driving business growth globally and expanding the company’s commercial market presence’. He will build on the initiatives RTI has successfully implemented over the past three years, including new policies such as a three-year warranty, robust training programmes, and the creation of a global Dealer Experience team.
With the solid groundwork laid by these initiatives, former CEO Ed McConaghay has decided it was time for a leadership transition and will remain in an advisory role.
‘Mark has an extensive background in leading technology-driven companies, combined with finance and business development expertise,’ says CTO and co-founder, Kevin Marty. ‘His track record of leadership at RTI and other successful companies made Mark the obvious choice to take over the CEO role.’
Performing as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at RTI since 2017, Derus has a long history of successfully executing business strategy, leading mergers and acquisitions, partnering with key businesses, and guiding companies through overall business growth. With an extensive background in technology, finance, and accounting, he has held the title of CFO, as well as other executive positions, for NetSPI, Quantum Retail Technology, Spanlink Communications/ConvergeOne, IDeaS Revenue Optimization, and Visual Circuits.
‘As a team, our focus is on being the best control solution for professional integrators,’ Derus says. ‘Over the past couple years, we’ve made big strides to accomplish this goal. Moving forward, we will continue to innovate by listening to our customers’ needs and work hard to provide them with world-class products and support.’
