MacCullum joins a growing executive management team at Pivot3. The company also recently announced Curt Wittich as vice president of sales, Katy Murray as chief financial officer, and Dieter Kondek as vice president of sales, EMEA. The experienced leadership team effectively strengthens the company’s long-term plans to expand into new markets and continue to double sales year after year.
