RTI has announced the appointment of Mark Derus as the company’s chief executive officer replacing Ed McConaghay who will remain in an advisory role. Derus will focus on driving business growth globally and expanding the company’s commercial market presence. Derus served as the chief financial officer at RTI since 2017.
He will continue to build on the initiatives RTI has successfully implemented over the past three years, including policies such as a three-year warranty, robust training programs, and the creation of a global dealer experience team.
Kevin Marty, chief technology officer and co-founder of RTI, said: “Mark has an extensive background in leading technology-driven companies, combined with finance and business development expertise. His track record of leadership at RTI and other successful companies made Mark the obvious choice to take over the CEO role.”
Derus said: “As a team, our focus is on being the best control solution for professional integrators. 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.”
