ON Partners Recruits Chief Revenue Officer for Crawford Technologies

February 15, 2022 – Top-drawer chief revenue officers are commonly found at start-ups and smaller businesses and tend to the bottom line while the rest of the C-level team expands key partnerships, seeks growth opportunities, or sources funding. That is changing. Larger businesses now view the CRO post as an essential, long-term role. In one recent search, Baillie Parker of ON Partners placed Mark Petoskey as the new chief revenue officer of Crawford Technologies, a provider of innovative document solutions that streamline, improve, and manage customer communications.
“Mark brings an impressive history of success in executive management and sales leadership,” said Ernie Crawford, chief executive officer of Crawford Technologies. “His experience and knowledge of the dynamic industries we serve will be a valuable asset for our clients, as well as the company. We are excited to have him join our team and we look forward to his contributions to Crawford Technologies’ future success.” Mr. Petoskey brings more than 25 years of sales leadership experience to Crawford Technologies and will play a central role in leading the company’s continued growth through strategic planning and execution.
Prior to joining Crawford, Mr. Petoskey was vice president of sales at M-Files Inc. where he was responsible for direct sales, channel sales, sales engineering and business development across the North American market. He also has held a variety of executive management and sales leadership positions guiding marketing, channel sales and direct sales for Fortune 500 corporations and early-stage technology companies.
“Crawford Technologies has an enviable reputation for helping its private enterprise and public sector clients optimize and improve customer communications,” said Mr. Petoskey. “I am delighted to join this great and fast-paced team that has built such strong products and a culture for customer success. I am looking forward to playing a key role in continuing to accelerate growth.”
