Strategic Leadership Enhancements for Evolving Advisory Needs Info-Tech Research Group is reinforcing its executive team to better serve organizations navigating rapid technological and business changes. The appointments reflect the firm's recognition that modern advisory partners must deliver practical, outcome-focused support rather than insights alone. With these hires, Info-Tech positions itself to meet heightened demands for measurable results, personalization, and direct business impact in IT research and advisory services.
Introducing the New Executives Craig Montgomery joins as Chief Marketing Officer, bringing over 20 years of leadership in technology and advisory-led businesses. His background includes senior roles at Dell, Driven Brands, and Sprint Nextel, with recent experience as President of ATI at Driven Brands. Montgomery has a strong history in sales and marketing for subscription-based models.
"Info-Tech operates at the intersection of insight and execution, and marketing in this environment demands clarity and credibility," says Montgomery. "Organizations want partners who can demonstrate measurable impact. Our focus is on deepening our relevance to members and strengthening our position as the advisory firm that connects strategy directly to execution and outcomes."
Brad Sprecher assumes the role of Chief Revenue Officer, leveraging his extensive tenure at Gartner during its growth from approximately $650 million to over $6 billion in revenue. Most recently, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at Sun IP, achieving more than 30% year-over-year growth while leading client-facing functions.
"Organizations are looking more closely at the value they receive from their advisory partners. I believe Info‑Tech Research Group is uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate this shift as they reassess traditional models," says Sprecher. "There is growing demand for firms that can demonstrate tangible, measurable impact, and I'm extremely excited to help Info‑Tech scale its commercial reach in line with the value the firm consistently delivers to its members."
Frank Brilliant takes on the position of Senior Vice President of New Member Acquisition, with more than 25 years in research, advisory, and information services. He was among the early employees at Forrester, contributing to its growth, and held senior roles at Wolters Kluwer and Lux Research, including SVP of Sales, Chief Revenue Officer, and CEO.
"I've spent over two decades in the research and advisory industry, and the expectations placed on advisory partners have fundamentally changed," says Brilliant. "Leaders want practical guidance that helps them move from decision to delivery with confidence. What attracted me to Info-Tech is the firm's unwavering commitment to supporting and guiding its members throughout that journey. I'm looking forward to helping expand our reach and introduce more organizations to an approach that supports real measurable outcomes."
