CLOUDMASONRY - Key Persons
After college, Hunter moved to Chicago, where he was introduced to Salesforce through a business development role. Hunter was cold-calling and while he didn't necessarily love the work, he was thrilled to call Chicago home. While in that role, Hunter learned of Salesforce consulting when the company hired a team to clean up the lead management and conversion process.
Hunter was intrigued by this line of work and started to pivot. As a stepping stone, Hunter worked as a Configuration Analyst at a data & analytics startup that provided insights to marketing executives at Fortune 500 companies using unstructured social media data.
After developing more technical expertise, Hunter joined a Salesforce consulting firm called Bluewolf as a Business Analyst. During his years with Bluewolf, Hunter wore many hats including Business Analyst, Consultant, Solution Architect, Project Manager, Delivery Manager, and Engagement Manager. Working in those roles introduced Hunter to a wide variety of projects in many different industries. Getting to work on such a diverse set of challenges is still Hunter's favorite part of this work.
Bluewolf was acquired by IBM during Hunter's tenure. IBM taught Hunter how to work with large, complex, and global organizations. Partnering with clients like Delta Dental and Wendy's pushed him to new heights.
Hunter joined CloudMasonry in the summer of 2019, and since then has moved to Austin, Texas for some BBQ and warmer weather. As Managing Director, Hunter works closely with our customers, prospects, highly talented team, and partners to define and achieve great outcomes for their businesses.
