Presenter and Moderator Bios
Christopher Stark founded Cetrom Information Technology, Inc. (Cetrom), in 2001. The true visionary behind the company, Stark built the company and its solutions with customers’ business needs and goals in mind and developed during the time was a different way to manage technology that would provide instant access to valuable IT resources anytime, anywhere, anyhow. One of Stark’s passions is to continuously find more ways to build upon the company’s strong customer service foundation, which is why providing the best service to customers will always be Cetrom’s number one goal. Over the last 15 years, Stark has cemented Cetrom’s status as a leading provider of custom cloud solutions with success that can be attributed to his personal resolve, ongoing commitment to maintaining excellent customer service, and a best-in-class technology infrastructure. With zero downtime in the company’s history and around-the-clock, senior-level IT support, Stark ensures that companies—whether staffed by two or two thousand—have access to enterprise-class technology at a price they can afford.

Backed by over 25 years of experience in all facets of the IT industry, and holding some of the industry’s most prestigious technical certifications, Stark keeps his finger on the pulse of the IT industry and eyes toward the future.

Stark is a father and self-proclaimed computer geek who enjoys flying planes, playing golf and racing cars in his spare time. A Washington, D.C., native, Stark still resides in the metropolitan area today.

A self-proclaimed serial networker, Sherrill Hebert leads Cetrom’s business development efforts. He enjoys being the “face” of the company and educates new and existing customers on the comprehensive cloud computing solution the company offers.

Hebert spent his career in the technology field with the first 20 years in customer service, operations, and sales roles for the telecommunications industry. During this time, he was responsible for selling to Tier 1 domestic and international telecommunications companies such as AT&T, Verizon, and France Telecom. These roles enabled Sherrill to develop and grow his core strengths, such as being a focused leader, confident and well-organized, which continue to serve him on a daily basis.

Hebert’s background in sales and appetite for taking on new challenges led him to Cetrom. His Bachelor of Science degree in finance from Virginia Tech, paired with a customer service upbringing, allow him to act as a true advocate for Cetrom’s clients.

Hebert resides in Northern Virginia with his wife, two children and their bloodhound. He is a diehard Virginia Tech Hokies Fan. And while Hebert has lived in Northern Virginia for over 30 years, he is actually a Cajun hailing from Louisiana.
