This month we introduce you to Team HQ’s master of all things technology: Aari Bradshaw
Nickname: Aristotle
What’s your role at HQ? The Head of Technology, responsible for implementing and improving our IT infrastructure to improve how we operate. The key platforms I’m focused on today are Salesforce.com (sales), Skedulo (scheduling presenters to jobs) and Office 365 (productivity).
How did you get to Elevate? It was fortuitous! I was finishing up as an Architect / Program Manager at AMP in Sydney, my family and I were moving to Spain on a “big, family adventure” (to sort out our poor Spanish linguistic skills) … and I got a text from Doug!
What did you do before that? I’ve worked in Consulting since Uni - in Oz, Asia and Europe - designing and delivering customer-focused solutions (sales, service, & marketing) for a range of industries. I cut my teeth with the big consultancies (Ernst & Young, Capgemini) and later specialised in ‘cloud’ solutions with boutique consultancies.
Do you have a hidden talent that no-one in the office knows? Tandem scootering on my kids’ scooters – so fun (they’re 6 and 3).
If you had to sing one song at Karaoke? All The Things That I’ve Done – The Killers
Who is your doppelganger? The Chief Doppelganger Officer (db) is yet to assign it!
Favorite TV series? Latino telenovelas are classic.
Ideal holiday destination? Exploring the parks around the south of Spain, where my family and I are living now! Adventure, history, and good football, all in the one place.
Favorite food and dish? Fresh seafood, cooked simply, eaten on the beach. Grilled octopus!
What excites you most about Elevate at the moment? Our purpose. Our people – sharp & passionate. Our growth potential – we are investing so we can scale!
