The Southfield, Michigan-based company said Brown would begin his duties on February 16 after he has completed a key assignment with IBM.
Though Brown has spent 10 years at IBM, he has left Big Blue for a CEO post before. In 2001 he took the top job at Indian application development services provider Aztec Software Inc, but resigned in March 2003 after a disastrous year for the company in which sales fell 38%.
Brown replaces William Coyro, the founder of TechTeam, who agreed last November to step down upon completion of the search for a successor.
