Comport Consulting names Michael Vencel president

"It's been a terrific experience creating and leading Comport for 37 years. I am so proud of what our team has accomplished," Margossian said.

I am honored to pass day-to-day operations to Mike, knowing he will continue to build upon the foundation we created."

As president, Vencel will head the company’s operations as well as drive its strategic growth. Before his promotion, he managed Comport’s data center business and geographical expansions, and played a key role in the firm’s managed IT services arm, Comport Secure.

"I know that I speak for everyone at Comport in thanking Jack for his tireless drive and commitment to the company over the years," Vencel siad. "We have a talented team and I'm excited about our future as we continue to innovate, transform, and unlock new opportunities that help our customers excel."

Before joining Comport, Vencel worked as an account manager at Infinite Technology Group. He also served as a senior analyst at Accenture for four years. He is the current president of the board of trustees of Steampark, Inc, an educational organization which aims to support children in at-risk communities via a curriculum based on science, technology, engineering, math, and art. Vencel holds a bachelor’s degree from Bentley University.
