Innovative welcomes Chief Revenue Officer to drive 400% growth

Arrian Mehis brings 29 years of technology experience to the fastest growing Amazon Web Services Premier Tier Services Partner

ROCHESTER, NY, June 28, 2023 – Innovative Solutions, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner, announced today the recent appointment of AWS alumnus Arrian Mehis as Chief Revenue Officer. Innovative is rapidly expanding its services across North America in partnership with AWS to help serve small to midsize businesses and startups accelerate cloud adoption. Arrian will oversee the revenue organization, including solutions architecture, business development, direct sales, and marketing.

Mehis joins soon after Innovative signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS. “Our mission is to enable every startup and SMB customer to leverage the power of the cloud. Technologies like generative AI and the need for modern application development, are being explored by nearly every business today. Arrian joining our team enables us to help more customers, and deploy these technologies broadly, starting immediately.” said Justin Copie, CEO of Innovative Solutions.

Innovative has been serving the technology needs of businesses for more than 34 years. As demand for cloud services has increased, the business has experienced exponential growth, onboarding more than 60 new IT professionals in the past 10 months. This expansion included hires in cities such as Austin, Denver, Toronto, Calgary, Seattle, Los Angeles, Tampa, and Chicago.

“I am thrilled to join Innovative sharing the same passion of helping customers achieve business outcomes using AWS as an enabler on their journey to cloud. The benefit of cloud has become immutable in a market that is not only massive but still growing where customers increasingly value the depth and breadth of expertise and managed services that Innovative delivers.” said Mehis.

Mehis has held various positions in tech since in the past 25 years. His most recent leadership post was leading Professional Services sales for the United States at AWS, where he was responsible for driving a transformational sales strategy to help customers adopt the AWS cloud.

And the reasoning behind a decision doesn’t travel on its own; it leaves the building the day the person who understood it does.
