We have always had an outstanding pipeline of talent coming out of our University programs. Adding to that, we now see a very exciting, and positive trend as Millennials are choosing Tampa Bay for their home base. As a technology leader, this pipeline of talent is a business imperative. Regardless of industry, more and more companies rely on technology to drive business growth and expansion, and the businesses in Tampa Bay are no exception.

Kimberly Anstett | CIO | Nielsen kimberly.anstett@nielsen.com | 813-366-4322 "The Tampa Bay region is so rich in technology resources and the tech community is really thriving right now. Within this market, you'll find unlimited opportunity. Tampa Bay boasts a highly skilled and diverse technology talent base; an eco-system for the smallest start-up to the largest tech companies; and, an education system ranging from focused boot camps to a strong base of globally recognized universities graduating tomorrow's engineers and scientists." Stanley Curtis | CTO and SVP, Software Engineering | Pilgrim Quality Solutions stanley.curtis@pilgrimquality.com | 813-915-1663 "Technology is a driving force in all of our organizations today that helps fuel our growth opportunities. The Tampa Bay area has a very diverse set of organizations including high end medical research, financial institutions, automated manufacturing facilities and a growing startup environment, just to name a few. The local workforce is dynamic and ramping up to meet the challenge of our growing technology needs. Our local university systems are developing the next generation of technologist, our veteran transition programs from MacDill are providing additional feeders for talent and we have a robust local talent pool to engage. Where else can you engage in such a diverse company and technology environment that has some of the best beaches in the world. This makes the Tampa Bay area one of the best place to live and build a technology career." Chris Cate | COO & CIO | Valpak chris_cate@valpak.com | 727-399-3127 "I am thankful that Tampa Bay Tech has placed workforce as a key pillar in its mission. As CIO of IRONMAN, we are a growing company headquartered in Tampa. Within IT, we have hired both full time and intern positions through the various initiatives Tampa Bay Tech has held. Tampa Bay Tech makes it very easy to connect and bring the job seekers and college graduates to us through their various venues, and allows our teams to interact 1 on 1 in both an informal setting as well as complete interview setting." John Kuemmel | CIO | IRONMAN john.kuemmel@ironman.com | 813-868-5995 There has never been a better time to be in Tech in Tampa Bay. As a veteran technologist from the area, in the past I sought most of my opportunities elsewhere, but today I gladly live and work here. I have found many venues, such as the Tampa Bay Tech, where I can help others be equally as satisfied with the opportunities in our area, whether individuals seeking technology career opportunities or employers seeking diverse highly skilled technical talent. I look forward to the increased momentum we will gain by collaborating across forums, employers, universities and the community to stretch into the future of making Tampa Bay a technology hub. Virginia Lee | VP Technology - Global Cyber Security | Nielsen virginia.lee@nielsen.com | 813-375-2335 "The technology footprint of the Tampa Bay area is expanding rapidly. The demand across our technology companies for talent is growing at that same pace. Moving individuals from one company to another may fill immediate needs, but that model will not sustain the growth this area is experiencing. The Tampa Bay Technology Forum has created a venue to tap into top tier talent at our universities and our military base; Powered by Potential and Powered by Heroes. As the CIO of Arbitration Forums, this gives us access to a new talent pool, the ability to pour back into our community, all the while solving our resource needs."
