Notable and proven technology executives with a history of successful leadership, join Swish’s executive team as part of the company’s continuing growth strategy
McLean, VA — June 2, 2026 – Swish, a leading provider of technology solutions and engineering services to the U.S. federal government, today announced the appointments of Jones Tallent as President and Kush Kumar as Chief Revenue Officer. The appointments are the direct result of a deliberate leadership strategy to build a senior executive team capable of scaling Swish’s operations, accelerating revenue growth, and deepening the company’s partnerships with OEM vendors and agency customers at a pivotal moment in the company’s growth.
As President, Tallent will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Monty Deel and serve as Swish’s chief operating executive, translating the company’s strategic vision into day-to-day performance and long-term growth. His responsibilities will encompass oversight of all business operations, program delivery, financial performance, and workforce development across Swish’s solutions and engineering services divisions. This structure enables Chief Executive Officer Monty Deel to focus on enterprise strategy, investor relationships, corporate development, and Swish’s long-term market positioning. Tallent is a 28-year industry veteran who previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Titania Solutions Group and held Chief Financial Officer positions at both Swish and Merlin International.
Kumar joins as Chief Revenue Officer, reporting to President Jones Tallent, and will hold full accountability for Swish’s revenue-generating operations. His mandate spans leadership of the company’s entire federal sales organization, development and execution of Swish’s go-to-market strategy, and management of the company’s OEM vendor partnerships and agency customer relationships. Kumar will be responsible for building and scaling Swish’s sales pipeline and aligning the sales organization’s efforts with the operational delivery capabilities. He joins Swish after 14+ years at Red River, where he served in a similar capacity and helped drive significant growth and market expansion. He has been recognized as an industry leader, helping build successful companies and brings a wealth of deep experience obtained over a career that also included senior sales leadership roles at Oracle and GTSI.
“These appointments reflect exactly the leadership structure Swish needs to continue to grow the company at scale, while continuing to perpetuate the successful company culture that our executive team has built together over the last decade,” said Monty Deel, Chief Executive Officer of Swish. “Each brings a rare combination of talent, experience, and judgment. Jones, who I’ve worked with for nearly 15 years, provides exceptional management and team building skills, he also has the trust and respect that is required to lead a high-growing team. I’m confident he will ensure we execute on our commitments every single day. Kush brings the experience, sales leadership and OEM relationships to accelerate our growth in ways that are purposeful and sustainable.”
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Monty and the Swish team for years and have tremendous appreciation for what they have built here,” said Jones Tallent, President of Swish. “My focus will be making sure that the organization behind our growth strategy is as strong as the strategy itself and that we have disciplined operations, empowered teams, and continue to achieve the outcomes needed to drive our customers missions forward. By adding a proven market leader with the skills and relationships that Kush brings to the team that Monty and others have built, I am confident that we can take Swish to new and exciting heights.
“I’m thrilled to join Swish,” said Kush Kumar, Chief Revenue Officer of Swish. “From the outside, I watched this company build something rare: an organization that has thrived for 20 years because its people genuinely care about getting it right. That’s what drew me in. As Chief Revenue Officer, I plan to harness that reputation and translate it into accelerated growth, deepen our OEM partnerships, expand our customer relationships, and build a sales organization that reflects the same standards of excellence that Monty and his team have established. I’m coming in with deep respect for what this team has created, and my goal is to build on that foundation. Together, we will set the bar even higher for ourselves, our partners, and the customers who rely on us.”
