Greg Tipton Work Experience Details
  • Community Food Bank Of Southern Arizona
    Chief Information And Operations Officer
    Community Food Bank Of Southern Arizona May 2023 - Present
    Tucson, Arizona, Us
    Managed the Warehouse, Transportation, Facilities, Information Technology and Compliance teams while executing what hunger relief should look like in the future for southern Arizona.• Strategic Business Solutions – Drove many successful change initiatives to create a more inventive and collaborative work culture starting with an 18 month project of selecting new updated applications, mapping processes, and training teams on entirely new applications. These new systems replaced an older Dynamics implementation by breaking out warehouse management, financial management, and account management from an on-site solution and moving to mainstream cloud solutions. These systems touched more than 150 employees and brought us to a new level of data analysis, agency management, streamlined processes, and documentation. • Project Management – Managed numerous projects across all of our departments including roof repair on a 120,000 square foot warehouse, skylights for a brighter workplace, new office space buildouts, security system upgrades, fire system upgrades, upgraded solutions for monitoring freezer/cooler temperatures, and a new generator to keep operations running effectively throughout the year.• DOT Compliance – Outsourced DOT and drug & alcohol compliance for our CDL truck drivers which allowed us to clean up FMCSA and the Clearinghouse.

    Tucson, Arizona, Us
    Providing training, guidance, and hands-on support for infrastructure, networking, network security, SQL, Microsoft Dynamic NAV, and process improvements while helping build an IT strategy for the future.• IT Lite Support Model – The goal is to migrate any on-premises services to the cloud to reduce support cost. Introduced the IT team to Microsoft PowerApps so that we could start moving on-premises services to the cloud. • Ticket Solution – Managed a ticketing solution to track and measure current IT workloads. This would provide visibility into the current demand on IT and group tickets together for problem management. This helped us focus on common issues and build automation to reduce ticket counts and allowed us to manage Active Directory and Office 365 more efficiently. • Realtime Reporting – Using Microsoft’s on-premises data gateway, we were able to improve reporting in Power BI, which allowed visibility to data such as product expirations, clients being served, and so much more. • Account Management – Built a process to auto create and disable accounts utilizing PayCom. This evolved into a complete account management process for contractors and volunteers to remove accounts in a timely manner. • Multifunction Device Management – Upgraded costly and outdated devices with more efficient devices and was able to reduce the overall spend.• Infrastructure Upgrade – We evaluated issues folks were having with network performance (Teams, Zoom, an on-premises ERP, etc), and we were able to identify issues with the current infrastructure and replace old legacy hardware with new Ubiquiti hardware. This included moving to Palo Altos for the firewall solution to provide additional security along with better performance.
