Acertitude Recruits Chief Revenue Officer for The Vomela Companies
November 17, 2025 – Acertitude has placed John Biscanti as the new chief revenue officer of The Vomela Companies. The search was led by co-founder and managing partner, Kevin O’Neill with support from Lauren Boone, and Katie Martin.
In his role, Mr. Biscanti is responsible for driving revenue growth by aligning the company’s sales, marketing, and pricing strategies. Before joining Vomela, he held the same role at Imagine, where he aligned sales, marketing, and pricing to strengthen profitability and enterprise value. Earlier in his career, Mr. Biscanti held multiple executive roles at Veritiv and xpedx, leading large P&L operations, driving organizational transformation, improving cost structures, and managing major integrations. Across these roles, Mr. Biscanti has consistently delivered stronger performance, streamlined operations, and positioned businesses for long-term growth.
The Vomela Companies, headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a full-service visual communications provider that designs, produces, and installs high-impact graphics, store décor, event signage, transportation wraps, and related creative and project-management services for major brands. In early 2025, the company received a strategic investment from The Riverside Company, a global private-equity firm focused on the middle market, partnering with Vomela’s founding Auth family to fuel the next phase of growth and innovation.
Founded in 2015, Acertitude specializes in recruiting CEO, C-suite, and executive talent in the consumer, financial, healthcare and life sciences, industrial, private equity, professional services, and technology sectors.

Acertitude’s global professional services practice recruits leadership talent for technology services, strategy and management consulting, turnaround and restructuring, M&A and deal advisory, business process outsourcing, and human capital advisory firms.
With more than 25 years’ experience in global talent consulting, Mr. O’Neill has conducted over 2,000 searches for notable companies and private equity firms globally. He leads the firm’s global consumer and industrial practices, and co-leads the firm’s global private equity practice. Acertitude’s growth builds on Mr. O’Neill’s leadership of O’Neill Consulting, an Acertitude company specialized in management search, which he founded in 1996.
Ms. Boone works in Acertitude’s consumer and industrials practices. She drives candidate identification and development efforts, focusing on placing board, CEO, and C-level talent for private equity firms, their portfolio companies, and corporate enterprises.

Her role involves conducting targeted research, curating candidate pools, and performing market mapping to identify exceptional talent. Her insights deliver significant value to private equity firms, PE-backed portfolio companies, and corporations, helping them uncover the transformative leaders who will drive their organizations forward. Before joining Acertitude, Ms. Martin held the role of senior director of executive search at Blue Rock Search.
Evolving Role
The chief revenue officer essentially owns everything that goes to market – sales, account management, customer success, and sometimes marketing as well. Finding these types of leaders has kept search firms busy. Here is a sampling from the Hunt Scanlon Media archives:
Acertitude has recruited Dan Miller as the new chief revenue officer of TAK Broadband, a Platinum Equity portfolio company. “This placement marks another chapter in Acertitude’s nearly decade-long partnership with Platinum Equity, which has yielded more than 200 executive placements across both the firm and its portfolio companies,” Acertitude said in a LinkedIn post. The search was led by co-founder and managing partner, Kevin O’Neill, principal, Heather Kivett, and supported by senior associate Lauren Boone. Mr. Miller’s most recent prior experience was serving as the company’s president of Broadband Solutions. His professional background also includes serving as president of Mears Broadband, a subsidiary of Mears Group and Quanta Services, for a period before joining TAK. While at Mears, he helped build it into an industry leader.
San Diego, CA-headquartered Bespoke Partners recently helped to recruit Dave Vonk as chief revenue officer of Fusion Risk Management. Tess Fischer and Medha Raj led the assignment. “We are thrilled to welcome Dave as our chief revenue officer, especially as Fusion continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of organizations worldwide,” said Michael Campbell, CEO of Fusion Risk Management. “Dave’s extensive experience in revenue leadership, deep understanding of the risk and technology sectors, and ability to foster strategic partnerships make him an ideal fit for our company. His expertise will be instrumental in accelerating expansion and ensuring Fusion remains at the forefront of the industry.”
Kevin Barry of SPMB Executive Search has helped to place John Sapone as the new chief revenue officer of NinjaOne. “It was a privilege to help bring aboard a proven revenue leader whose impact at companies like Snowflake, ServiceNow, Nimble Storage, and Data Domain speaks for itself,” Mr. Barry said in a LinkedIn post. “John’s track record scaling world-class teams and delivering results makes him the ideal leader to guide NinjaOne through its next phase of growth. Thank you to co-founders Sal Sferlazza and Christopher Matarese for entrusting SPMB with this critical hire, and to Brad Delaplane for the partnership along the way. It’s searches and outcomes like these that make the work so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead for the NinjaOne team.”
