KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — Montgomery County, PA-based Evolve IP is embracing a new phase of leadership as it recently announced the appointment of Jeff Coursen as Chief Executive Officer. Coursen, who joined the company in 2017 as CFO and Strategic Adviser, brings over two decades of experience in operations, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and strategic planning within the technology landscape.

Call will oversee the company’s global support and service delivery teams, ensuring client retention and satisfaction by delivering seamless onboarding and unparalleled technical support.
Finally, Bryan VanderGast, formerly the Executive Vice President of Finance & Corporate Controller, has been promoted to Chief Accounting Officer. VanderGast will be responsible for all aspects of the company’s accounting functions, the success of Evolve IP’s accounting team, and the timely and accurate execution of financial reporting.
