InfoMart, a leader in global background screening, is proud to announce the promotion of Adam Townsend to Chief Executive Officer. Townsend brings over two decades of industry experience and a deep understanding of InfoMart’s operations, culture, and clients to the company’s top leadership role.

Townsend has spent over 20 years at InfoMart, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer. Known for his strategic thinking, operational efficiency, and people-first leadership style, Townsend has been a driving force behind many of InfoMart’s most impactful initiatives—from streamlining core services to strengthening vendor relationships and enhancing the client experience.

“Adam’s journey from private investigator to CEO reflects more than just tenure—it’s a reflection of his integrity, grit, and extraordinary leadership,” said InfoMart Founder and Chief Visionary Officer Tammy Cohen. “He’s a strategist who leads with both strength and empathy. He challenges the status quo, inspires confidence from our clients and employees alike, and brings a clarity of vision that is both grounded and future-focused. There is no one more equipped to guide InfoMart into its next chapter.”

As CEO, Townsend will focus on building upon InfoMart’s 30+ year legacy while positioning the company to thrive in a background screening industry increasingly shaped by mergers and acquisitions. In an era where consolidation can compromise service and flexibility, InfoMart remains proudly independent—an advantage that enables the company to stay agile, deeply client-focused, and committed to long-term partnerships. Under Townsend’s leadership, InfoMart will continue investing in technology, refining operational processes, and enhancing the client experience with responsive, people-centered service.

“I’m honored for the opportunity and the trust that InfoMart is offering me,” said Townsend. “InfoMart has always been defined by its people and its commitment to innovation in a complex industry. I'm excited to lead InfoMart into its next chapter by meeting the evolving needs of our clients with smart solutions, sharper service, and the same commitment to trust and transparency that's built our reputation.”

Townsend is a former board member of the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) and former Chair of the PBSA United States Council. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Valdosta State University and began his career as a licensed private investigator.

His promotion reflects InfoMart’s commitment to cultivating leadership from within and aligning its executive team with a clear and consistent vision for the future.

InfoMart, a leading global background check company, has taken the first step in its Pledge 1% commitment by organizing a kit-building drive for Nashville’s Sexual Assault Center at the 2023 WBENC National Conference. Fellow women-owned companies Improve Growth, Innolect, Prelude Solutions, and Spirit Sox USA donated to the event. WBENC’s attendees bundled these donations into backpacks that were then donated to SAC.

The kit-building drive was a major success, providing essential supplies and materials for survivors of sexual assault. "These bags will go a long way to help survivors on their healing journeys," said Anna Culver, Advocacy and SAFE Clinic Administrator of SAC. "We are grateful to be the recipient."

The kit-building drive was just the beginning of InfoMart's Pledge 1% commitment, which promises to donate one percent of the company's time, equity, and/or resources annually to nonprofit organizations. Moving forward, InfoMart will also host corporate events in support of local organizations like the NW Metro Atlanta chapter of Habitat for Humanity and Trees Atlanta.

"Our commitment to Pledge 1% is a testament to our dedication to social responsibility and our desire to make a positive impact on the community we serve," said Tammy Cohen, Founder & Chief Visionary Officer of InfoMart. "Service has always been at the heart of InfoMart’s culture, and we look forward to formalizing that commitment with the resources provided by Pledge 1%."

InfoMart is proud to be a part of this movement and is committed to making a positive change in the world.

The WBE Star Award is the nation’s premier award for women’s excellence in business leadership.

March 16, 2023 – Tammy Cohen, Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of InfoMart, a top background screening company, has been recognized as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) Star by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest certifier of women-owned businesses and leader in women’s business development. The WBE Star Award is the nation’s top recognition for excellence among women-owned businesses, honoring 14 women from across the country within each of the 14 Regional Partner Organizations, representing over 18,000 certified women nationwide.

The 2023 WBE Stars will be honored during the 2023 WBENC National Conference, a gathering of more than 3,000 entrepreneurs and business leaders taking place March 20-23, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee.

A leader in pre-employment screening and employee monitoring services, InfoMart brings innovative background screening solutions like continuous criminal monitoring to the conference to help companies of all sizes protect their employees while expanding their fair-chance hiring programs. This year, they will sponsor the conference’s welcome reception, where they are partnering with fellow WBENC-certified companies – Improve Growth, Innolect, Prelude Solutions, and Spirit Sox USA – to build donation kits for Nashville’s Sexual Assault Center.

“We could not be prouder of the 2023 WBE Stars,” says Pamela Prince-Eason, President and CEO of WBENC. “This year WBENC sought to recognize and celebrate WBEs who have demonstrated remarkable resilience and capacity to reinvent themselves. These WBE Stars are being honored for perseverance and excellence through reinvention and innovation, despite the unprecedented challenges of recent years.”

“WBENC has been pivotal to InfoMart’s success, and I’m so grateful to be part of GWBC. It’s one of the great honors of my career to be recognized by fellow business owners who I respect so much,” said Cohen. “I cannot recommend WBENC enough to other women entrepreneurs. It opens doors.”

Cohen will be recognized for her resilience, business acumen, dedication to inspiring and mentoring other women, and her active leadership role at the helm of InfoMart. She was selected for this national honor by the Greater Women’s Business Council (GWBC), one of 14 RPOs that lead the world-class certification of WBEs, in addition to providing skills-building educational programs and business development opportunities within their respective regions.
