Herndon-based cloud service provider ViON Corp. announced Wednesday it has promoted Rob Davies to chief operations officer and David Kushner to senior vice president of sales.

Davies joined the company in 2014 and served as the vice president in charge of all cloud and as-a-service contracts and programs for the company.

“Rob’s ability to lead a large team is incredibly strong,” ViON Chairman and CEO Tom Frana said in a statement “His federal government experience and industry knowledge has enabled us to better position ViON to take advantage of the increased market demand for on-premise as-a-service private cloud.” Before ViON, Davies worked with CA Technologies, which was acquired by Broadcom Inc.

Kushner joined ViON 11 years ago and previously served as senior vice president of sales. During the past three years, he has helped the company complete more than a dozen as-a-service program acquisitions supporting more than $1 billion in contract ceiling.

“Rob and Dave have had a tremendously positive impact on us here at ViON, and both represent the next generation of C-suite executives,” Frana said in a statement. “Rob has effectively been serving in the role for the past few months, and we promoted Dave to encourage us to think more strategically about program business and growth.”

ViON is a veteran-owned business that provides IT as-a-service including infrastructure, multi-cloud and artificial intelligence services.
