7. Chris Checksfield and Dan Gill, Amplix

New England-based technology advisor Amplix bought Net7, bringing on a company and a team that will bolster private equity-backed Amplix’s account management services.

Net7 is a nine-year-old company that consists of two entities — Net7 Solutions and Net7 Total Care. Amplix didn’t say how much it’s paying for Net7. The deal pairs Net7 with an Amplix leadership team its owners know well, as well as funding to scale. 

The entire Net7 team will join Amplix.

Dan Gill(pictured above, right), Amplix’s president, said there’s highly valuable talent at Net7. He pointed to Cary Stallings, who has been functioning as Net7’s technology consultant.

“There’s a ton of really good sales and account management talent that is really additive to our team and allows us to expand the support we can provide,” Gill said.

For Chris Checksfield (pictured above, left), Net7’s president and CEO, retaining all employees means that very little (if anything) will change for Net7 customers.

“The teams aren’t going to change. The talent isn’t going to change. The account management isn’t going to change and the customer’s day-to-day point of contact isn’t going to change. What is going to change is that we’re going to go from 10-person organization to a team of 50 with what I deem as the most talented folks in our industry, especially if you look at the Northeast,” Checksfield said.
