Trevor Akervik was promoted to the Vice President of IT Managed Services and is a 19-year veteran at Marco. He was instrumental in creating Marco’s managed services, an offering that has grown to almost $70 million (€62.85 million) in revenue. In his new role, Akervik will be accountable for evaluating and expanding the company’s managed services.

Steve John will take on the role of Vice President of IT Services bringing 30 years of industry experience to the position. John will be responsible for service growth, profitability and customer satisfaction by improving processes and communications.
