Fortran Corporation (OTC: FRTN) has appointed Aaron Berry as President, effective April 2026, the company announced today. The move comes as the Hickory, North Carolina-based telecommunication system integrator seeks to accelerate growth through recurring revenue models and expanded managed services.
CEO Kent Greer, who will remain in his role, highlighted Berry's experience as critical for the company's continued growth. "Aaron's key responsibilities will be the leadership of all our operating companies and to explore new opportunities," Greer said in a statement. "His recurring revenue models in the managed services area will integrate with our current platforms and operations and will be a key factor in our continued growth."
Berry's appointment aligns with Fortran's focus on cloud-based and AI platforms and services. The company, which describes itself as a telecommunication system integrator, provides engineering, network services, sales, remote monitoring, on-site service, fiber-optic and category cabling, and camera security. By integrating Berry's expertise in managed services, Fortran aims to strengthen its recurring revenue streams and expand its footprint in the rapidly evolving telecommunications sector.
Greer emphasized that Berry's leadership would be instrumental in exploring new opportunities beyond the company's current operations. The transition is expected to occur in April 2026, with Berry assuming full responsibility for all operating companies under Fortran's umbrella.
The appointment signals a strategic shift for Fortran as it seeks to capitalize on growing demand for managed services and AI-driven solutions. With Berry's background, the company is positioning itself to offer more comprehensive, subscription-based services to clients, reducing reliance on project-based revenue. This move could enhance customer retention and provide more predictable income, a key goal for many technology integrators.
Fortran's focus on recurring revenue models reflects broader industry trends, where managed services are increasingly seen as a stable growth driver. By leveraging Berry's experience, the company hopes to deepen its relationships with existing clients while attracting new ones seeking end-to-end telecommunications solutions.
