NextAce Corp., a provider of automated real property intelligence to the financial industry, announced the appointment of
Mike Armstrong to vice president of sales. In this position, Armstrong will lead all sales efforts, manage client acquisitions, and expand customer and vendor relationships.
Armstrong was a co-founder of NextAce with Don Cantral, its chief executive officer, back in 2003. Having started his title industry career in 1982, Armstrong left NextAce in 2008 to garner broader experience in the title industry. Since 2008, Armstrong held senior management positions with Data Trace, a First American Company; and Property Info, a Stewart Company.
“NextAce is well positioned to continue its upward growth pattern, which is now supplemented by the opportunities brought to us through the company’s recent introduction of SearchQ, an online property ownership and debt reporting service,” Armstrong said. “This coupled with the fact that we’re a proven resource to many of the top title companies nationwide presents me with many exciting opportunities moving forward.”
Former sales vice president Max Harris has moved into the position of vice president of business development and will remain the point of contact for all strategic partnerships, including those involving geographic coverage, data, images and taxes, according to the company.
“The partnership between Mike and Max is designed to take advantage of the many strategic growth initiatives we are already pursuing and others just waiting for our time and focus,” said Cantral. “I am personally thrilled to have Mike back in the family.”
The company launched SearchQ in September at the 5-Star Default Services Conference. The company has processed more than 2 million title orders since its founding in 2003.
