Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 22, 2015 -- Hilltop Consultants, a Washington, DC-based managed IT and professional services firm, today announced a key addition to its executive leadership team with the hiring of Douglas Furst as Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Furst brings deep IT services and software knowledge. He will complement Hilltop’s executive leadership team as the company continues to build its brand while focusing on delivering premium technology services to businesses worldwide.
“Doug brings an exceptional track record of accomplishments over the past several years while serving the IT services industry,” said Jim Turner, Hilltop’s CEO. “Most importantly, he has proven he has the skill set to successfully scale a technology business within our space. We are very confident that, with his leadership, we will significantly grow our business without sacrificing the entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional quality of service that has gotten us to where we are today.”
