Cority proudly announces Ryan Magee as our new CEO, succeeding Mark Wallace, who has retired after two decades of exemplary leadership. Under Mark’s stewardship, Cority evolved from Medgate to Cority, a global leader in EHS and sustainability solutions, with expansions into new markets and a comprehensive product suite that has driven 19 consecutive years of profitability. Ryan, who has been with Cority since 2012 and served as CFO since 2017, played a pivotal role in this journey. His strategic insight led to Cority’s robust financial performance, and his spearheading of significant acquisitions has positioned Cority for sustained success in the highly competitive EHS software market. As we welcome Ryan Magee into his new role, we are poised for an exciting new chapter in innovation and growth. Ryan’s appointment comes at a time when Cority is expanding its reach with CorityOne, our integrated SaaS platform. With Ryan’s forward-thinking leadership, Cority is set to redefine industry standards and help organizations worldwide make more informed, risk-reducing decisions. Thank you, Mark, for your visionary leadership across the globe and through the decades! Ryan, we are excited for what is to come!

As always, all comments are welcome!
