WATERLOO, Iowa (July 28, 2015)—Jeremy Kauten has been promoted to chief information officer and senior vice president of information technology at VGM Group, Inc.

Rob Duryea is the new president of VGM Forbin. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he had a 20-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps and earned a master’s degree in business from Wake Forest University.
