Former chief technology officer Hulbert is the new CEO, effective immediately, according to Opus Interactive's Wednesday announcement. Brody is still chairman of Opus Interactive, and will continue to play an active role in the guidance of the organization.
Also, after four years at Opus Interactive, Jeremy Sherwood has been promoted to vice president of sales and operations, where he will lead sales and operations, and ramp up the company's sales team.
As a full-service managed services provider, Opus Interactive helps organizations of all sizes reduce their IT infrastructure costs and consolidate their server footprint. Sherwood said he looks forward to bringing Opus Interactive's services to new customers as VP of sales and operations.
"This is an exciting time in the evolution of Opus Interactive," Sherwood said in a statement. "We can offer organizations and agencies cutting edge, customized technology solutions combined with industry leading SLA agreements."
Hulbert said the organizational changes were to take advantage of growth opportunities in managed service industry. "Opus Interactive is building our organization, and technology offering, to better serve our growing client base," Hulbert said in a statement. "We'll continue to make those changes needed to capitalize on market trends and conditions."
