HOUSTON, TEXAS – April 15, 2025 – Chris McMahan joins the rapidly growing Texas Managed Services Provider (MSP), Centre Technologies, as Chief Financial Officer. This addition continues to boost Centre's already prominent growth across Texas and Oklahoma as a top MSP.
Centre Technologies, a leading Texas-based Managed Service Provider (MSP), is proud to announce the appointment of Chris McMahan as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). With an impressive background in accounting, legal, and IT services, as well as extensive experience with private equity-backed organizations, McMahan is set to play a critical role in guiding Centre through its next chapter of strategic expansion.
“When I first met Chris Pace and the leadership team, I was immediately impressed with Centre’s business model and track record of organic growth and geographical expansion,” said McMahan. “I’m excited to partner alongside the leadership team and embrace their vision for Centre to become one of the top MSPs in the country.”
As Centre continues to expand its footprint across Texas and Oklahoma, McMahan brings a dual focus: scale the business without compromising its strong, people-first culture.
“There’s always a risk that growth can dilute the culture that made the company successful in the first place,” he noted. “My job is to help keep our values embedded at every level of the organization—from frontline sales, to service delivery, to back-office operations.”
