CHRIS SCOTT TO LEAD VIYU NETWORK SOLUTIONS AS CEO

Former CEO of Netera Networks Tapped to Grow Richardson-based IT Services Company

Richardson, TX (March 5, 2020) – Chris Scott, founder and CEO of Netera Networks, joined Viyu Network Solutions in August 2019 as Chief Executive Officer according to co-founder and partner Lance Wiseman. The Richardson-based company provides managed Information Technology services or scalable cloud-based infrastructure implementation for a variety of businesses and industries.

“Viyu Network Solutions is fortunate to have a leader with the experience and expertise that Chris possesses, as well as the respect in the industry he has earned over the course of his exceptional career,” said Wiseman. “He will lead the Viyu team by identifying, developing and executing key initiatives for strategic growth and alliance opportunities. His servant leadership mentality fits our company culture of employee respect, teamwork and excellence while his experience as a CEO gives him a deep insight into technology, business and relationships.”

In 2007, Scott founded Netera Networks, a services-led IT solutions integrator that focused on simplifying, optimizing and reducing IT costs for businesses. In 2018, he founded OSI Transformation Services, a strategic trusted technology adviser helping businesses gain clarity, control, and actionable insight regarding their IT investments. Now, Chris has joined Viyu to drive strategic growth as CEO.

“I’m extremely excited about leading a company that puts our clients’ needs first, and then develops technological solutions for their problems. Viyu is a great company with an outstanding culture. The opportunity ahead is truly outstanding. Continuing to grow our team with exceptional talent and staying nimble, while holding true to our roots of delivering unprecedented customer service will be the key to our continued success,” said Scott.

“There are plenty of companies that offer managed IT solutions and broker cloud hosting providers such as AWS, Google and Azure. However, the customer billing against department budgets are extremely difficult, which is why we developed our own cloud IaaS platform, vArida,” Scott revealed. “We work diligently with our clients to size their infrastructure requirements, and recommend which applications and workloads that should move to the cloud: all included in one monthly bill that is straightforward to understand and in line with their budget. This is only one example of how we listen to our client’s needs and develop solutions to directly address their challenges.”

Scott earned his B.S. in Telecommunications Management and Networking Telecommunications from DeVry University. His professional achievements and affiliations include: Who’s Who Continental Honored Member, Cisco Client Satisfaction Partner of the Year (South Region), Cisco Growth Partner of the Year (South Region), Trust X Alliance (Awarded Cisco Total Solutions of the Year), Executive Advisory Council (Cisco US South Region), Commercial Channel Advisory Board (CCAB) and A&G CEO peer group of Solutions Integrators.

Additionally, Chris has been recognized in SMU’s prestigious “Dallas 100 fastest growing privately held companies in North Texas.” He is passionate about working with technology and facilitating company and industry growth. In his spare time, he enjoys being outdoors, playing tennis, and spending time with his wife Dana and two children, Ryan and Alyssa.
