COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, the leading enterprise-grade collaboration governance, compliance and insights platform, today announced the appointment of Bill Strogis as Chief Revenue Officer. Strogis's proven track record of taking companies from early stage to hypergrowth will support Aware's continued success in enabling enterprises to overcome common legal and compliance barriers, address growing data risks and insider threat concerns, and empower employees by creating more empathetic, flexible, and human-centric workplaces.
Highly regarded as a builder, coach, mentor and inspirational leader, Strogis excels at optimizing sales productivity as well as developing the processes and tools needed to supercharge growth beyond revenue objectives.

"I'm excited that my best strengths in building a go-to-market machine are perfectly aligned to what Aware needs in this moment," said Strogis. "With Aware's massive traction in the market and a keen eye on the future of communication in the enterprise, it was an easy decision for me. I look forward to continuing to build and grow this company alongside an already talented team."
