DirectViz Solutions has promoted a new chief executive from within its own ranks in John Epperly, a three-decade public sector veteran and DVS’ chief operating officer for the past three years.
Epperly’s elevation to CEO took effect Jan. 1, DVS said Thursday. He succeeds Mike McHugh, who previously led DVS for approximately five-and-a-half years.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service makes up the remaining 6.6%.
