Irvine-based IT consultancy and service provider Trace3 promoted Tyler Beecher to chief executive.
He previously served as executive vice president of sales and succeeds company founder Hayes Drumwright. Drumright, who will take the role of executive chairman, grew Trace3 from an IT reseller in 2002 to a consultancy with a specialization in big data, cloud computing and data center infrastructure.
The company posted revenue of $420 million last year. The Business Journal has named it one of the fastest growing private companies in OC.
Trace3 employs more than 110 people locally and 310 companywide. It aims to hit $1 billion in revenue under Beecher’s leadership, the company said.
Before joining Trace3, Beecher served as director of enterprise sales for NetApp and as a sales manager at EMC, Cisco Systems and 3Com.
