Last Reviewed: September 27, 2026

Executive Summary

Tim Kennedy is Chief Revenue Officer of RFA, a technology and managed IT services firm that has served the financial services industry since 1989 and now counts more than 700 client firms. He was named to the role in August 2026, one of four senior appointments announced as RFA relaunched itself as an AI-native managed services provider running on the platform of its parent, Titan. RFA’s own biography of him is short and specific: formerly Vice President of Sales at the managed services provider Thrive, he now leads client partnerships and growth across RFA’s global footprint.

Career Highlights

• Chief Revenue Officer of RFA, responsible for client partnerships and growth across its nine locations in the United States, Europe and Asia.
• Announced as CRO on 4 August 2026, alongside President David Andrade, Chief Operating Officer Steve Schoener and Chief Technology Officer Bill Ercolano.
• Previously Vice President of Sales at Thrive, a managed IT and cybersecurity services provider.
• At Thrive in 2022 as Vice President of Financial Services, co-authoring the firm’s commentary on the SEC’s proposed cybersecurity rules for investment advisers.

Professional Journey

Kennedy’s recorded career sits in managed IT services sold to financial firms. At Thrive he held the title Vice President of Financial Services in 2022, when he co-wrote, with the firm’s managing director for financial services, an analysis of the SEC’s proposed Rule 38a-2. The piece walked through the proposal’s three demands on investment advisers and funds — written cybersecurity policies and procedures, reporting of significant incidents to the regulator within 48 hours, and disclosure of cyber risk and past incidents to clients — and argued that firms need not build all of that capability in-house. RFA describes his later Thrive title as Vice President of Sales.

In August 2026 he was named Chief Revenue Officer of RFA. The company was founded in 1989 as Richard Fleischman & Associates and grew into an IT, cybersecurity, compliance and cloud services partner to hedge funds, asset managers and other financial institutions. In 2025 it joined Titan, a holding company backed by a $74 million Series A from General Catalyst, whose AI operating system embeds software agents across IT operations. The 4 August 2026 announcement presented the result as RFA’s “next chapter” and introduced a new leadership bench to run it, with Kennedy responsible for revenue. The new leaders, the company said, had spent the preceding months embedded with RFA’s team and clients before the launch.
