• Disrupted the Workforce Technology sector by launching an industry leading SaaS Vendor Management System (VMS). Built a technology team and led the architecture, user experience and software engineering through to multiple production releases. Additionally, led the creation of the customer service and support infrastructure for the VMS product.• The Cloud-based VMS supported revenue growth for the division by 20%+ CAGR over 5 years (2014 to 2019).• An IT infrastructure overhaul was necessary. A detailed analysis of operating expenses, restructuring and service deployment optimization resulted in savings of 6 positions. Significant savings was also found in software and service agreements. After the effort was completed, total savings realized was nearly $2M annually. The IT overhaul, which included replacing nearly 20 year old data center infrastructure with Cloud infrastructure, resulted in zero unplanned production downtime and no major support issues.• Instituted a company-wide ticketing and project tracking system. This lowered costs in multiple areas, from software licensing and end-user support as well as server maintenance costs while improving interdepartmental project communications and workflows.• Spearheaded the company’s expansion into Mexico. Involved in recruiting initial team members, establishing the first workspace and creating HR processes and policies for the International location. The result of this expansion was the ability to recruit and employ technology talent we were unable to locate in San Diego which also reduced costs significantly.• Led the company-wide Work from Home initiative. Just before Covid-19 became urgent, the need for swift action to order the hardware the company needed to work remotely took priority.
