Accomplished Senior Executive, Strategist and
Technology Leader to Take Involta's Manufacturing IT Solutions
to the Next Level
CEDAR RAPIDS,
Iowa, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Involta, an award-winning data center, hybrid IT and
cloud-forward consulting firm, is expanding its leadership team
with the appointment of John Kehoe,
Executive Vice President of Manufacturing. Kehoe brings 25 years of
global experience across the digital infrastructure, manufacturing,
industrial and technology industries. He has a proven track record
of leading IT, operational and logistics divisions, empowering
organizations to deliver a superior customer experience, increase
operational efficiency and drive digital transformation.
Kehoe brings 25 years of experience across
digital infrastructure, manufacturing, industrial and technology
industries.
Kehoe's appointment comes on the heels of
Involta's completion of the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity
Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework, achieving an impressive
Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score of 109/110. The SPRS
score is used by the Department of Defense as a major part of the
rigorous CMMC evaluation process to assess the risk of a supplier.
A standard compliance benchmark for all government contractors, the
SPRS score is based on value points related to cybersecurity
practices, such as access control, identification, authentication
and incident response. A strong SPRS NIST score demonstrates
Involta is a low-risk technology partner for government contracts,
particularly those in manufacturing.
"John is an exceptional senior leader who comes
to Involta with a wealth of industry experience and expertise
across a wide variety of areas, including manufacturing
modernization, digital advancement, applications management,
strategic planning and much more," said Jim
Buie, President and CEO of Involta. "He will play a crucial
role in expanding the mission-critical IT solutions and security
services that are paramount to manufacturers in order to improve
productivity, optimize operations and keep supply chains running
smoothly."
Prior to joining the Involta team, Kehoe was
Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Xylem, Inc.,
overseeing global IT operations supporting more than 350 locations
across 65 countries. In this role, he led several significant
initiatives to modernize business solutions and update key
infrastructure, including the replacement of the company's entire
global data and communications network, successfully increasing
efficiency and reducing operating expenses.
"The Involta team is highly recognized for its
exceptional technology solutions, leading-edge security services
and innovative spirit, especially when it comes to serving the
manufacturing industry," said Kehoe. "I look forward to leveraging
my diverse experience and industry background to further drive
Involta's manufacturing practice forward and meet the rapidly
evolving technology demands of the organizations that keep the
world running."
