Former LexisNexis Executive Hired to
Drive Revenue Growth
Cogint, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT), a data and analytics company,
today announced that the Company has appointed Greg Johnson, an
executive with over 25 years of operational experience in the
software, data and analytics industries, as Chief Revenue Officer
(CRO), a newly-created position at the rapidly-growing company. As
CRO, Johnson will have direct responsibility for all
revenue-generating and customer-facing teams of IDI, cogint’s risk
management division.
Johnson’s professional experience includes senior management
positions at Reed Elsevier’s LexisNexis, a leading information
solutions provider, among other software and data analytics
companies. Johnson was instrumental in building out successful
sales organizations across the enterprise at LexisNexis Risk and
Business Analytics (LNRBA). Most recently, he served as Vice
President, Consulting and Client Experience, where he led a large
organization across vertical markets, including Insurance,
Government, Healthcare, and Commercial. While at LNRBA, Johnson
integrated all sales functions following LexisNexis’ $4.2 billion
dollar acquisition of ChoicePoint. Immediately prior to joining
cogint, Johnson served as Chief Operating Officer of Social
Solutions, a SaaS company owned by Vista Equity Partners and
serving the nonprofit and public sector.
Derek Dubner, cogint’s CEO stated, "The addition of Greg to the
team could not have come at a more opportune time. The rapid
evolution of our primary investigative solution, idiCORE, combined
with new product releases, is providing significant tailwinds in
market and customer penetration. We believe Greg’s knowledge of
this industry and demonstrable success building out sales
operations, including strategic and channel partnerships, will
drive increasing and sustained revenue growth within multiple
verticals in our risk management business.”
“I am thrilled to join the cogint team, and to continue to build
and lead an extraordinary sales organization in support of the
Company and its incredible technology,” commented Johnson. “I have
spent many years in the software and analytics space and I look
forward to working with this proven team.”
