RTI announces the appointment of CFO Mark Derus as CEO, following the decision of former CEO Ed McConaghay to step down from a leadership position in favour of an "advisory role" within the company.
Derus says he will focus on driving global growth and expanding the presence of RTI within the commercial market. He will also continue to build on successful RTI initiatives, including the 3-year warranty, robust training programs and the creation of a global Dealer Experience team.
“Mark has an extensive background in leading technology-driven companies, combined with finance and business development expertise,” the company says. “His track record of leadership at RTI and other successful companies made Mark the obvious choice to take over the CEO role.”
Derus was the CFO at RTI since 2017, and has a background in technology, finance and accounting. He has held executive positions at NetSPI, Quantum Retail Technology, Spanlink Communications/ ConvergeOne, IDeaS Revenue Optimization, and Visual Circuits.
