“We’re excited to have Don join our team and are confident his experience and expertise will help us maintain our record growth and help us take it to the next level,” said Chris Barney, vice president of Sales for Red Sky Solutions. “Our approach to working with clients is unique because our solutions are based from a technical perspective versus a specific product.
