Geoff received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from the University of Hartford in 1980. Since 1979, he has focused his career in marketing and sales for the technology community. Geoff's business experience has covered all aspects of organizational management including operations, client services, sales, marketing, and business development. He has held senior management positions at Focus Research Systems (a syndicated high tech lead and database marketing service), Dataquest (a high tech research and advisory firm), and Dun & Bradstreet (a leader in B2B direct marketing databases).
Focus Research, an entrepreneurial start-up, was one of the first companies to collect, manage, and market syndicated leads for the information technology industry. In addition to managing the outsourcing relationships with three remote call centers, Geoff was responsible for building a call center infrastructure that grew from 5 seats to over 300 in a few short years. With Dun & Bradstreet, he managed the development and maintenance of a direct marketing database representing technology usage at over 400,000 organizations with over 2 million contacts. Geoff's responsibilities at DataQuest included development of new products, bridging both tactical and analytical data, collaborating with DataQuest industry analysts, and managing primary research programs.
Geoff founded Winn Technology Group in 1990.
Anne, co-founder of Winn Technology Group, received a Bachelor degree in Finance from Central Connecticut State University. Anne spent over 15 years in the high technology sector bridging her experience with both call center operations and finance. Anne was employed by Focus Research and was instrumental in establishing three remote call center operations for the company. These call centers focused on syndicated lead generation for information technology firms, and the maintenance of a 400,000 company direct marketing database focused in usage of technology.
Anne's call center experience, in concert with her financial and analytic strengths, has enabled Winn Technology Group to build and maintain a strong foundation for continued growth.
Nancy joined Winn Technology Group in 1997 after receiving a B.A. from the University of South Florida, and has since learned every aspect of Winn Technology Group's business, first in the role of Project Manager and then as Director of Project Management. As Director of Project Management, Nancy re-engineered and refined Winn Technology Group's internal structures and best practices to increase the value of each project to our clients. She instituted new standards for data management, reporting procedures, Business Development Specialist training and client interaction. As the company grew, so did its need for a dedicated individual to provide client support and services. Based upon Nancy's knowledge and experience, she was the obvious person to fill that role.
Since 2001, Nancy has been responsible for all client services and many operational procedures. From the time a client proposal is signed, until the final report is delivered to a client, Nancy is a key point of contact. She prioritizes the flow of all projects through Winn Technology Group, assigning programs to the project managers, allocating resources and representing the client internally.
