Michael J. Newkirk Email and Phone Number
I facilitate an incredibly talented software development team on the sales, strategic account executive, and customer success side. I also do some operations work to streamline processes to reach the best clients faster. Our developers have worked in high-stakes roles at every imaginable level: architect, principal, senior, and tech lead for web apps, mobile, etc. If you need a front-end, back-end, or full stack developer, or several to form a cohesive team, reach out and let's chat!Prior to entering tech in Jan. 2023, I cut my teeth in the business world as the chief editor of Words rU, a position I still happily hold. Whether pitching innovations to the company owners or growing an account 2-3X above the previous year, I invest myself in helping the company grow any way I can and have built up 8 years of OBM experience. I have had the privilege of solving very complex business problems at the intersection of S/KAM, CX, PX, and business development.
