Innovators, problem solvers, binge watchers…

Our people wear a lot of different hats.

Of course, we’re tech experts.

After all, that’s what our business is all about. But behind the business cards, our people are some pretty amazing people. Active in their communities. 100% one-of-a-kind. And committed to leading by example. It’s been the same story since we first opened our doors in 1996. See for yourself.

Vivian Hodgkins

Chief Architect & Jet Ski Master

When Vivian isn’t designing cutting-edge architecture, you’ll likely find her out on the lake—jet skiing, boating, or enjoying a good tennis match. A true outdoor enthusiast, she also loves cycling and soaking up the sun. Vivian’s journey into tech leadership started with a bold move—joining the Army in 1997 after an adventurous 1996. That experience laid the foundation for her discipline, resilience, and leadership style today.

Matias Fascetta

Boundless Energy & Brand Ambassador

In 1996, Matias was finishing 4th grade in Buenos Aires, Argentina, taking his first-ever English lessons, and spending weekends in his dad’s truck hauling sand to construction sites. Fast forward to today, and he’s the human equivalent of a triple espresso—bringing unstoppable energy and a knack for connecting the right people at the right time. Whether it’s launching a new initiative or solving a last-minute challenge, Matias always has the right number in his address book to make things happen.
