ARG, Inc. Welcomes Industry Veteran Brett Pavitt as Managing Partner

20+ Year Enterprise Technology Expert Reinforces ARG’s National Growth Strategy

McLean, VA – ARG, Inc., a leading IT solutions provider, today announced that Brett Pavitt has partnered with the firm. Pavitt joins the leadership team as Managing Partner, bringing more than two decades of proven success solving complex technology challenges for enterprise clients across multiple industries.

“Brett embodies everything ARG stands for—trusted partnership, relentless client advocacy, and the expertise to navigate today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape,” said Mike Shonholz, ARG CEO. “His track record of building lasting relationships and delivering real business outcomes makes him the perfect addition to our team.”

Throughout his career, Pavitt has established himself as a trusted advisor who connects enterprise clients with the right solutions across their IT ecosystem. Most recently at RingCentral, he managed a diverse client base spanning 22 states, helping organizations of all sizes—from Fortune 1000 enterprises to specialized industry players—modernize their communications and collaboration infrastructure to drive operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

“What attracted me to ARG was the depth of expertise across the organization,” said Pavitt. “For years, I helped clients navigate a specific area of the technology landscape, but today businesses need guidance across a much wider range of infrastructure, cloud, security, networking, and operational challenges. ARG gives me the platform to help clients solve those problems more strategically and comprehensively.”

Pavitt can now access ARG’s vast ecosystem, which spans the full spectrum of enterprise technology transformation, including unified communications, contact center solutions, data networking, cybersecurity, IoT, and emerging AI applications. 

“What excites me most is the ability to bring clients a much deeper bench of expertise,” Pavitt added. “Whether the priority is improving resiliency, simplifying vendor management, reducing costs, or modernizing infrastructure, ARG has the experience and operational depth to help clients execute with confidence.”

The partnership with Pavitt reinforces ARG’s commitment to attracting the industry’s best talent as the company scales its national footprint. His extensive network and proven methodology for identifying client pain points and assembling the right technical expertise align perfectly with ARG’s mission to simplify complex technology decisions.

“Brett doesn’t just sell solutions—he solves problems,” added Kristen Reitmeyer, Director, Growth Operations. “That’s exactly the quality of advisor we want to invest in, and it’s how we’re building ARG into a national brand that delivers local expertise at enterprise scale.”

Pavitt is based in Charlotte and will focus on expanding ARG’s enterprise client relationships across multiple markets.
