Celerant Technology, a preferred retail software provider for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), has promoted Michele Salerno to Chief Growth Officer. Salerno will spearhead the company's expansion initiatives in this newly created position. The Chief Growth Officer role combines strategic partnership development, market expansion, and revenue acceleration to drive sustainable business growth.

She will also oversee the company's overall marketing strategy to reinforce Celerant's position as an innovative leader in retail point of sale and technology solutions.

"I have worked with Michele for 20 years and few people have her experience in this industry,” says Ian Goldman, President and CEO of Celerant. "Her boundless energy and ability to forge long term relationships make her a perfect fit for the new role of Chief Growth Officer. With growth so tightly coupled with many of our partners, Michele is poised to spur tremendous growth in our company."

"This transition feels like it naturally evolves from my work over the years," says Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer of Celerant Technology. "While my foundation lies in sales-driven marketing strategy, I've expanded my focus to building strategic partnerships that fuel our expansion. Growth means conquering new markets and deepening our existing client relationships. Having started at Celerant fresh out of college nearly two decades ago, I've grown alongside the company. I'm thrilled to take on this new challenge and lead our next chapter of growth."
