New Beginnings

I am proud to have been part of the Rightpoint team for the past ten plus years when I was the sixth employee working out of 200 West Madison in Chicago. Helping grow the company to over 450 employees with sales growing by 800% in my time there is one of my proudest accomplishments. Rightpoint acquired a number of firms over that time and the team has done an incredible job of taking Ross Freedman and Brad Schneider's innovative services concept and bringing it to market and helping to flourish as one of the top Microsoft, Sitecore and Episerver partners in the world.

Working at Rightpoint has been a great ride for me because I was able to wear multiple hats daily including building internal communities in Chicago, Denver and up and down the west coast. I enjoyed my role building various regions in the country, keynoted workshops and sessions throughout the world. I have been a Microsoft MVP, an evangelist, a sales and business development executive in helping drive Rightpoint's business. With our extraordinary growth, I took time to reflect on what has inspired me the most and what I have missed from other jobs. After much thought, I have decided to take this opportunity as Chief Experience Officer for BA Insight. BA Insight has similarities to Rightpoint. They have brought to market an innovative software based and multi-platform approach that solves the number one issue and pain point for every organization: SEARCH. Plain and simple, our solution is an AI-driven enterprise search software portfolio that integrates with Elastic and Microsoft stacks to turn intranets into Google like search experiences to maximize your team’s productivity. This is the future and where emerging technologies start, and I am excited to be a part of such a forward thinking and innovative organization.

I will have a multi-faceted role, focusing on a variety of initiatives:

1.          Making BA Insight much better known through our capabilities and much more visible to Consultants/Microsoft MVPs/System integrators.

2.          Helping BA Insight get our SmartHub platform into every company in the world.

3.          Working on relationships to generate new business and helping worldwide sales and show the magic of our search platform and where digital transformation commences.

What that means to you: reach out and let's connect or reconnect. The software is multi-platform, so I will focus on organizations that use the Microsoft suite and Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud to ServiceNow to Salesforce and IBM. Now that you found me, I look forward to speaking with many of you in the coming year. I wish all of you a memorable new year with lots of love, success, and happiness in 2019.
