Rob McCormick
Founder and CEO of Avatara in St. Louis, Missouri
Rob McCormick founded Avatara in 2005 with a focus on delivering enterprise-level IT solutions to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) through a distinct, secure, integrated service created internally. Prior to this venture, Rob was at the helm of Savvis as CEO from 1999 until 2005. During his tenure, he introduced the first virtualized managed hosting platform, oversaw multiple acquisitions and successful equity investments, significantly grew the company, and led it through a landmark IPO, making it one of the largest tech IPOs of that period. Before his time at Savvis, he served as COO of Bridge Information Systems, the company from which Savvis was later spun off in 2000.
