Chuck Vermillion
CEO and Founder
Chuck Vermillion, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Chuck, a pioneer in the managed services industry, started his first managed service firm, OneNeck, in 1997. Under Chuck’s leadership as CEO, OneNeck became one of the most highly recognized firms in its space and grew to approximately $45 million in revenue and 220 employees. OneNeck was recognized in the “Visionaries” quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Oracle Outsourcing, North America. OneNeck was also ranked by “The Black Book of Outsourcing” as the #1 ERP Management provider, three consecutive years. In 2005, the firm was recapitalized with a strategic investment from WestView Capital Partners, a Boston based Private Equity firm. In 2011, after a successful six year run with WestView Chuck led the process resulting in a sale of OneNeck to TDS, a Fortune 500 company, for $95 million. Chuck remained the CEO for OneNeck for three years following the sale, departing in August 2014.
When Chuck formed AccountabilIT in August of 2016, he took two decades' worth of lessons learned in the managed services industry to help form a new hybrid type of provider: a combined managed service provider (MSP) and managed security services provider (MSSP). Chuck and his team believe that all companies deserve to have a robust solution to protect against the bad actors regardless of size of their revenues. As a result, the AccountabilIT team created a very sophisticated operations model around security which scales to companies of all sizes using common principles and technologies. Under Chuck’s leadership, AccountabilIT has become one of the top MSSPs globally, with 5 consecutive years’ recognition in the top 250 MSSPs worldwide by MSSPAlert.
Chuck's leadership, vision, and accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. In 2009, he was honored with the Governor's Celebration of Innovation Ed Denison Business Leader of the Year Award. In 2013, Chuck was in good company when the Phoenix Business Journal chose him as one of 15 Phoenix area-based Tech Titans. In 2010, Chuck was one of the top 15 finalists for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2010, and more recently, he was nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019. In 2022, Chuck was selected as one of the Phoenix Titan 100.
Chuck holds a B.S. in Accountancy from the University of Illinois and is a CPA.
