Software company creates new executive position

TAMPA — Fast-growing software firm ConnectWise named Brad Schow vice president of consulting — a new position for the firm.

Schow will lead a team at ConnectWise that’s expanding the company’s current product-focused consulting service into something designed to improve leadership among technology teams, what the company calls “end-to-end consulting” in a statement. The position, adds ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini in the statement, was a “natural next step” after ConnectWise’s acquisition in January of HTG, a worldwide consulting, coaching and peer group organization.

“ConnectWise has been providing consulting services for many years, but the primary focus has been on product planning and product best practices,” Bellini says in the release. “Brad’s phenomenal record with HTG Peer Groups and his deep industry experience as a business coach will allow us to amplify how we support and encourage all our partners, no matter where they are in their business journey.”

Schow has served as a peer coach and business consultant at HTG for more than five years. “Investing in people, thinking ahead, building teams and helping others find success has been extremely gratifying to me professionally and personally,” Schow says in the statement.
