Govplace hires new sales chief

IT product reseller Govplace has hired nearly 25-year industry veteran Patrick Herwig as senior vice president of sales.

Reston, Virginia-based Govplace has also tasked Herwig to lead its sales engineering and alliance management organizations, the company said Tuesday.

Herwig most recently was general manager of Iron Bow Technologies’ civilian sector. He also is a former director of federal for Vidyo and regional manager for public sector sales at Cisco.

Govplace’s appointment of Herwig comes nearly five months after the company announced it hired Troy Hartless as its chief operating officer.
