In her new role, Sims will oversee relationships between ASG technology partners and clients while spearheading the company’s growth across Southern California.

Prior to joining ASG, Marchitto was the chief information officer of a systems design firm where he led three engineering teams focused on systems integration, cloud and media asset management deployments. 

“I’m very familiar with the quality of people and work that ASG is known for,” said Marchitto. “I’m looking forward to the new projects and challenges that will surely expand my skill set. This position feels more like a coming home than starting a new job.”

Sims and Marchitto can be reached via email.
