In February this year, the company lost another executive. Craig Dellorso, who had come to Abila via its purchase of Avectra, had become chief customer officer at the new company in February 2012. Dellorso's LinkedIn page shows he is now managing director of Hire Velocity, where he started in February. SVP Jay Love, who was with Avectra starting in August 2012, left in March. He remains with Boomerang as CEO and he was a co-founder there. That position started in September 2012, overlapping the Avectra experience. Since he also founded eTapestry, purchased by Blackbaud in 2007, the move from Avectra fits his career as a tech entrepreneur. Chris Wicker, who was VP of sales at Abila from August 2012 through May this year, is now chief revenue officer at another Austin-area firm TalentGuard. Among the Avectra execs remaining with Abila is Howard Pollack, who moved from his position as director of sales to become VP of enterprise sales in April. That thrust in to the enterprise space appears to be company-wide as in March Abila hired Cooper Cayward as VP of enterprise client services.
