Verrex has announced that Bill Chamberlin has been appointed president effective May 13, 2025. This leadership transition sees Thomas Berry move to the role of executive chairman after serving as CEO for 25 years.
Bill Chamberlin, the newly appointed president, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. With over 20 years of dedicated service at Verrex, including key leadership roles such as vice president of global sales and marketing. He has been instrumental in shaping the company’s strategic direction and fostering strong client relationships, business development initiatives, and essential partnerships.
Thomas Berry said: “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside and mentoring Bill for the past two decades. He has an exceptional understanding of our organisation’s culture, clients, and people. I’m confident that Bill will lead Verrex with integrity, fresh energy, and a vision for positive change that aligns with our core values and future goals.”
In his capacity as executive chairman, Berry will continue to provide support to the company by working closely with the Verrex board of directors and offering guidance to Chamberlin and the senior management team as they embark on the next chapter of Verrex's journey, ensuring a seamless transition and maintaining the company's stability.
Chamberlin commented: “Tom has developed over his career, where he is perfectly positioned to support the next generation of Verrex leadership and focus on being the crucial interface to the board. The great news is that Tom isn’t going anywhere; he will continue to support us and be my sounding board like he has been for the past two decades.”
Chamberlin concluded: “I’m grateful for this opportunity, Tom and the Board have given me a chance to take this next step in my career. The rest of the management team is excited about the new initiatives and how we will look at the business moving forward. We aren’t the same company we were eight years ago when Five Crowns acquired us, and we won’t be the same company eight years from now, and that’s a good thing.”
