Future Technologies Venture has appointed Sarah Campbell, former research executive at George Mason University, as chief operating officer as the company advances strategic growth initiatives following a recapitalization completed in October.
The Suwanee, Georgia-based systems integrator said Tuesday Campbell officially assumed the role on Monday, May 4, and will help support operational execution as the company scales its capabilities and workforce to meet increasing demand across government and commercial markets.
“Demand for advanced connectivity is accelerating across every market we serve, and we are moving aggressively to scale the business—expanding our capabilities, investing in talent, and positioning the company for sustained growth,” Pete Cappiello, CEO of Future Technologies. “Sarah’s leadership will be instrumental as we execute on that strategy.”
