Kylie Allen, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Axient for the past two years, has been appointed to the CFO position at By Light, a portfolio company of New York-based private equity firm Sagewind Capital.
In a LinkedIn post published Tuesday, Allen shared he will succeed John South, who will retire after a 17-year career at the professional information technology services provider.
Allen previously held the same roles at Millennium Engineering and Integration, which merged with QuantiTech in February 2021 and rebranded as Axient four months later.
Before his four-year stint at MEI, he was finance chief at Culmen International and Thales Group‘s U.S government manufacturing subsidiary.
He served in finance-related posts at Saab Sensis and Syracuse Research Corp.
