PGi, the collaboration software and services provider, has promoted John Stone to chief revenue officer, Sean O’Brien to chief strategy officer and June McCarthy to executive vice president of marketing.

Stone previously was executive vice president and managing director of PGi International. In his new role, he will be responsible for the global sales and field operations organizations, and for the company’s global revenue growth.

O’Brien’s role has been expanded to include corporate strategy and business development, in addition to his ongoing responsibilities of managing PGi’s global corporate development/M&A program, and leading its legal and HR organizations.

With a background in cross-functional marketing – everything from product, pricing and packaging to Six Sigma quality and efficiency – McCarthy’s experience in both product and marketing roles gives her a “strong perspective on how to manage global go-to-market efforts” in her new role, the company said.
