Intellinet, a highly certified, professional IT consulting services firm, today announced that effective immediately Frank Bell, founder and chief executive officer, will transition out of managing the day-to-day operations of the company to focus on the long-term vision, strategic growth initiatives, and client-partner-community relationships as the organization's founder and chairman.
The executive vice president of organizational development, Hardin Byars, was announced as Bell's successor in the role of chief executive officer and will begin working with Bell immediately to ensure a smooth transition.
"I have the utmost confidence in Hardin's ability to bring people together to accomplish extraordinary results," stated Bell.
