AUSTIN, Texas – CMIT Solutions, a leading IT service provider for small to mid-sized businesses, today announces the appointment of Lindsey Wohrer as the director of marketing communications and Mike Celayeta as the director of product development.

“As a nationally recognized managed service provider, we strive to hire dynamic, high caliber executives to drive our company’s success,” said Jeff Connally, the CEO and president of CMIT Solutions. “Lindsey and Mike are these kinds of leaders. They bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our growing talent pool. I’m confident they’ll serve as a tremendous asset in helping us meet the unique needs of our customers and franchisees alike.”

In her new role as the director of marketing communications, Lindsey will work closely with CMIT Solution’s talented team of marketers and digital specialists to spearhead the development, coordination, and implementation of marketing and public relations initiatives. She will oversee the creation and execution of all printed materials and online collateral, as well as all media relations and social media initiatives.   

 Prior to joining CMIT Solutions, Lindsey served as director of marketing and technology for a private consulting firm based in Houston. The marketing and communications specialist also has experience in web and graphic design, photography and film production, serving as both news writer and web editor for Clear Channel Radio.

As the director of product development, Mike will play an integral role in helping CMIT Solutions franchisees grow their businesses. Mike will lead the CMIT Solutions support and development team in conducting market research, expanding CMIT’s product and service offering, ensuring service delivery, and refining back office infrastructure.

The former managing consultant for ERGOS Technology Partners, a Houston-based managed service provider, Mike has more than 12 years experience providing relevant, high-value managed IT services to the SMB market. Prior to working with ERGOS Technology Partners, Mike served as the director of strategic partner operations for All Covered, a nationally recognized managed service provider.

“What attracted me to CMIT Solutions is its leadership and innovation in the field of IT service. I’ve worked with a number of managed service providers and few have gained my respect as quickly and thoroughly as CMIT Solutions,” expressed Celayeta.

Sharing Mike’s sentiments, Lindsey explains, “I am so impressed with CMIT’s growth trajectory. The brand has grown significantly in a period of economic downturn and I look forward to helping it continue its climb to the top in the years ahead.”

Exceeding 2012 growth goals, the new hires join CMIT as the brand expands to top-tier U.S. markets in places such as Phoenix, Las Vegas and Southern California. Thus far in 2012, 17 new franchise owners have opened offices. And, revenues in 2011 and 2012, from October (2011) through September (2012), are up 32 percent on average at offices open more than two years.
