August 3, 2026 - 02:46

Crexendo has announced the appointment of Chris Aaker as its new chief technology officer, a move that comes as part of a carefully planned succession within the company's technology leadership. Aaker steps into the role after serving in senior engineering and product development positions at the cloud communications provider, where he helped shape the company's platform architecture and customer-facing solutions.

The transition is designed to ensure continuity in Crexendo's technology roadmap as the company continues to expand its unified communications and collaboration offerings. Aaker will oversee all aspects of product engineering, network infrastructure, and technology strategy, reporting directly to the CEO. His promotion follows the departure of the previous CTO, who is leaving after a multi-year tenure to pursue other opportunities.

In a statement, Crexendo's leadership emphasized Aaker's deep familiarity with the company's systems and his track record of driving innovation. Aaker joined Crexendo several years ago and has been instrumental in launching recent upgrades to the company's cloud platform, including enhanced security features and improved call quality controls.

Aaker said he is excited to lead the technology team during a period of rapid growth, noting that the company's focus will remain on delivering reliable, scalable solutions for small and mid-sized businesses. He also highlighted plans to invest in AI-driven tools and automation to improve customer experience.

The change is effective immediately, and no other executive shifts were announced.
