Tim Keady’s promotion from executive director, global sales to managing director, global sales and relationship management comes as a result of his proven track record for exceeding sales targets, driving growth in the US and bringing world-class practices to his team.

I’m confident he’ll bring those successes to the executive team as he becomes even more closely involved with our overall strategic process. Tim’s winning track record will no doubt positively impact the future success of Omgeo.”

In addition to Lee Cutrone’s leadership position within industry relations, his marketing duties will allow Omgeo to more closely align communications to and relationships with global client and industry groups as well as regional Advisory Boards.

“Lee’s role in industry relations has always been closely aligned with the work of the marketing team,” continued Ms. Brown. “With a more formal joining of these two functions, we mark our commitment to Omgeo’s continued focus on our client and industry communities. Lee’s leadership from Omgeo’s inception has been instrumental in our positive position within the industry, and his profound dedication to our marketing vision will only further our success.”
