BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cogint, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT), a data and analytics company, today announced that the Company has appointed Greg Johnson, an executive with over 25 years of operational experience in the software, data and analytics industries, as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), a newly-created position at the rapidly-growing company. As CRO, Johnson will have direct responsibility for all revenue-generating and customer-facing teams of IDI, cogint’s risk management division.
Johnson’s professional experience includes senior management positions at Reed Elsevier’s LexisNexis, a leading information solutions provider, among other software and data analytics companies. Johnson was instrumental in building out successful sales organizations across the enterprise at LexisNexis Risk and Business Analytics (LNRBA). Most recently, he served as Vice President, Consulting and Client Experience, where he led a large organization across vertical markets, including Insurance, Government, Healthcare, and Commercial. While at LNRBA, Johnson integrated all sales functions following LexisNexis’ $4.2 billion dollar acquisition of ChoicePoint. Immediately prior to joining cogint, Johnson served as Chief Operating Officer of Social Solutions, a SaaS company owned by Vista Equity Partners and serving the nonprofit and public sector.
Derek Dubner, cogint’s CEO stated, "The addition of Greg to the team could not have come at a more opportune time. The rapid evolution of our primary investigative solution, idiCORE, combined with new product releases, is providing significant tailwinds in market and customer penetration. We believe Greg’s knowledge of this industry and demonstrable success building out sales operations, including strategic and channel partnerships, will drive increasing and sustained revenue growth within multiple verticals in our risk management business.”
“I am thrilled to join the cogint team, and to continue to build and lead an extraordinary sales organization in support of the Company and its incredible technology,” commented Johnson. “I have spent many years in the software and analytics space and I look forward to working with this proven team.”
