The Chattanooga-based IT infrastructure and cybersecurity firm InfoSystems has promoted Chris Kotte to senior vice president of sales. In his new role, Kotte will work with Chris Gilbert, vice president of sales, and Kelly Nuckolls, vice president of marketing and alliances, to direct sales, operations and marketing efforts.

“Chris has done an outstanding job of leading our enterprise sales team over the past seven-plus years, growing wallet share, revenue and profits consistently during his tenure here at InfoSystems,” said Scott Davis, CEO at InfoSystems. “Chris’s extensive sales, sales management and consulting experience uniquely qualify him for this role.”

Kotte is a graduate of the Harvard Business School’s IBM executive management program, and he brings more than a quarter-century of IT experience to the InfoSystems executive team. Prior to joining InfoSystems in 2014, Kotte’s professional endeavors include leading sales efforts for IBM’s retail and distribution team, managing Insight’s Ohio Valley division, and time spent as a consultant assisting with the launch of a Chicago area IT startup.

“The past year has expedited an incredible amount of change in the information technology and cybersecurity arenas, and our entire team has really stepped up to meet spiking demand,” Kotte said.
