Allyis Names New Chief Executive Officer Jason Herman
As Company Enters 16th Year, Longtime Employee is Promoted to CEO
KIRKLAND, Wash. (February 1, 2012) – Allyis, Kirkland-based technology consulting firm, announces the naming of a new CEO as the company enters its 16th year in business in the Puget Sound region. Because of his tenure at Allyis and his record of strategic thinking and strong leadership with employees and clients, Jason Herman has been promoted to CEO, effective February 1.
Current CEO and company co-founder, Richard Law, will remain Chairman of the Board. Ethan Yarbrough, current president and company co-founder, will remain Vice Chairman of the Board. Law and Yarbrough will continue to provide input and oversight of company direction and core commitments to employees and clients.
The company, honored as one of Washington’s 100 Best Companies to Work For by Seattle Business Magazine five times and ranked six times as one of Washington’s Fastest Growing Private Companies by the Puget Sound Business Journal, has experienced continued growth and success since its founding in 1996. Law and Yarbrough have led Allyis through both booming and extremely challenging economic times, always keeping employee and client satisfaction squarely at the top of the company’s priorities.
“One of our priorities that serves both our customers and employees well and contributes to our high retention rates is that we believe firmly in promoting from within whenever possible,” said Law. “With an improving economy and a growing number of new opportunities on the horizon, we feel that having a CEO who is already very familiar to most of our clients and employees and who, with more than 10 years experience at Allyis, intimately understands our service offerings and culture, puts us in a great position to take the business onward and upward from here.”
“I am extremely excited about the opportunity before us,” said Herman. “Over the past year, we have added several new key clients and significantly expanded our network of partners who can help us broaden the range of solutions we provide. Those strategic advances, combined with the quality and track record of our employees, have positioned the company for significant growth.”
Herman’s priorities as CEO will include developing and expanding Allyis’s service offerings, developing its partner channel, and continuing to strengthen the employee culture that has made Allyis a success.
