Citizant hires new growth chief

Citizant has hired a new chief growth officer in Jeff Affuso, a nearly three-decade government consulting veteran who has focused on IT and business support services programs for customers.

Affuso joins Citizant from Tsymmetry, an IT solutions provider he most recently was the chief executive at. His career also includes roles such as chief operating officer and chief growth officer at DRT Strategies, as well as president of AOC Mission Services.

"Jeff’s strategic attention to growth and enterprise value creation will enable me to focus more fully on customer advocacy, company culture, and the expansion of our chief data officer service offerings," CEO Alba Aleman said in a release Thursday.

Chantilly, Virginia-headquartered Citizant touts its chief data officer support services as including data strategies, data governance and quality programs, and data-centric cloud modernization approaches.
