Commit promotes Taylor & D'Alfonso in North America

Commit has promoted Amanda Taylor to Managing Director of North America and Alex D'Alfonso to Vice President of Sales, North America, following strong growth in the region.

North America recorded a 64% rise in annual revenue and a 125% year-on-year increase in new customer acquisition. That compared with global revenue growth of 30%, making North America its fastest-growing established region over the past year.

The leadership changes give the business a clearer regional structure as it expands sales and delivery operations in the United States and Canada. They also free Chief Revenue Officer Max Nirenberg to focus on broader global growth efforts and expansion into other markets.

Taylor and D'Alfonso have both played key roles in building the North American business. Taylor will oversee the region's next stage of growth, while D'Alfonso will lead sales activity.

Recent progress in North America reflects investment in a more repeatable customer acquisition model, a broader geographic presence beyond the East Coast, and stronger onshore and nearshore delivery operations. Commit has also expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services as part of that push.

AWS ties

That relationship has included new partner accreditations and a broader commercial arrangement in generative artificial intelligence. In 2025, Commit entered into a multi-year Generative AI Strategic Collaboration Agreement in North America with AWS, backed by a seven-figure AWS investment.

The agreement is intended to help customers develop artificial intelligence projects on AWS. More recently, Commit achieved AWS Signature Reserved status, with Premium access, within the AWS AI Competency programme.

Taylor has been closely involved in those efforts, leading key AWS partnership and accreditation work, including attainment of the AWS Generative AI Competency and the AWS Small and Medium Business Competency.

D'Alfonso has focused on sales operations and customer acquisition. Since he joined the business, North American new-logo sales headcount has increased by 33%.

That staffing increase has coincided with a sharp rise in new customer wins across the region. D'Alfonso's work has centred on operational discipline, regional expansion and partner-led growth in the United States and Canada.

Global context

The North American changes come as Commit continues to broaden its international delivery footprint. Earlier this year, the company acquired SavannahTech, extending its software delivery operations into Africa.

The acquisition helped push the group past 1,000 engineers globally. It also added engineering resources in markets including Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, supporting its ability to scale teams across regions.

Commit also highlighted expansion in the United Kingdom as part of its wider growth strategy. The stronger North American structure is intended to support that broader push.

Nirenberg said the regional business had reached a point where a different management setup was needed. "The growth we've experienced in North America over the last couple of years has created an opportunity to further strengthen our leadership structure for the next phase of scale," said Max Nirenberg, Chief Revenue Officer, Commit.

"The team has been instrumental in building the foundation behind that growth by driving a highly efficient growth engine while continuing to expand strategic partnerships and operational capabilities. Together, Alex and Amanda have earned the opportunity to lead the next chapter of Commit's North American business," Nirenberg said.
