Little Rock, AR, January 7, 2020— Edafio Technology Partners, a leading regional provider of Technology, Multi-Cloud, and Cybersecurity services and solutions, announced this week that Kenny Kinley had been named as President and Chief Executive Officer. Keith Woodruff, who has been Chief Executive Officer since 2010, will transition to Chief Technology Officer and Partner. These leadership appointments are effective on January 1, 2020.
Kinley assumes CEO responsibilities following two years as Edafio’s President. Over his eight years in total with the firm, he led the expansion of the client base both geographically and by industry. He oversaw strengthened marketing and business development capabilities — initiatives that led to significant growth in market penetration and revenues. His near 25 years of experience in delivering technology products and services feature two decades in senior management. Before joining Edafio, Kinley held various client relationships and business development roles at Acxiom, one of the world’s leading data and technology service providers for marketers.
Woodruff, who has led Edafio’s successful evolution as CEO since 2010, commented on passing the torch to Kinley: “It gives me great pleasure to see careful leadership succession planning come to fruition. I have worked closely with Kenny for over two decades and have complete confidence that our clients and staff are in good hands. We are fortunate to have someone with his leadership skills and experience at the helm as we enter our next stage of growth,” Woodruff, also an Edafio board director, added.
“His contributions and dedication to the company, our associates, and clients have been immeasurable.
I look forward to working with him in my new role and can’t wait to see where he takes Edafio in the future.”
Kinley said, “I am thrilled and honored to succeed Keith at such an exciting time in Edafio’s history, as we continue on our path to transform technology, multi-cloud, and cybersecurity services throughout our community, state, and region. With Edafio’s legacy, capabilities, and the most talented team of specialists in the industry, we have never been better positioned to both deepen and expand the clients we serve and the quality of services we provide.”
