3t Systems Appoints Jan Rutherford to Chief Commercial Officer

With executive team now in place, 3t Systems is poised for strategic growth in key markets

Ciaran Dwyer, CEO at 3t Systems, announced that Jan Rutherford has joined the IT consulting firm as Chief Commercial Officer. In this newly created position, Rutherford will oversee regional and national sales and marketing efforts, focusing on designing and directing diverse communications programs to target the healthcare, construction, and finance industries. With over 20 years of leadership training, education and sales and marketing experience, Rutherford brings an impressive track record for helping companies and organizations strategically expand their market foothold through creative and innovative campaigns.

Rutherford's appointment comes at a key juncture as 3t Systems prepares to expand service offerings, announce strategic partnerships and invest resources to build brand reputation. An accomplished speaker, educator, business mentor and entrepreneur, Rutherford's diverse expertise and knowledge will prove invaluable as Dwyer and the executive team set 3t Systems' future business direction. In 2011, primary objectives will include implementing an integrated sales and marketing approach, forging new business alliances, and developing new market strategies.

Prior to joining 3t Systems, Rutherford focused on training, educating, and helping others achieve their maximum potential both personally and professionally. Most recently, he was as an executive at MedKeeper, a healthcare software company, and an instructor at the Bard Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado. As the Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing at MedKeeper, he set the strategic direction for the company's sales and marketing efforts. Throughout his career, he has also taught other leadership classes at the University of Denver and has been a leadership and motivational speaker at various national and international industry conferences.

"For the past 17 years, 3t Systems has grown solely on the merits of its solutions, partnerships and people," said Dwyer. "However, we have reached a point where market potential is at its peak and strategic marketing and sales are essential. I am confident that with Jan at the helm, 3t Systems will become synonymous with IT excellence in healthcare, construction and finance."

When Rutherford is not inspiring others in the classroom or office, he heads outdoors to get his own dose of inspiration hiking Colorado's magnificent Rocky Mountains. Rutherford also serves as the Vice Chair, Board of Directors for the Visiting Nurse Association of Colorado, a nonprofit agency that provides home care, hospice at home, and wellness services across a 14-county area from Boulder south to Pueblo.
