Trace3 Finds New CTO Within its Ranks

Trace3, an IT Systems Integrator that provides solutions and services for reducing IT infrastructure complexity, has promoted Practice Manager David Hekimian to chief technology officer.

“Promoting David to CTO was simply the right decision,” said Hayes Drumwright, CEO of Trace3. “I have always been impressed with David’s vision and sound technical voice. He has proven tremendous value to our clients by helping them define their IT goals and providing the necessary technical and managerial experience to stay ahead of market trends. David has been such an important part of what Trace3 has become over the last five years. He has grown into this role and earned the right to lead us as CTO. Congratulations, David.”

“Helping our clients build and execute an effective IT strategy, which maps to their business goals, has been very rewarding. This strategy, or as Trace3 calls it ‘Define Your X,’ is our key focus moving into 2011, positioned holistically to support the divergent needs of our varied client base. It is an exciting time to be with Trace3,” Hekimian said.

Trace3 focuses on promoting from within as a common practice. When looking to fill a role, Trace3 believes that in order to maintain its “secret sauce,” it only makes sense to promote someone who understands company culture and demonstrates leadership.
