Bio
Ed Schmidt
I had the pleasure working with Edson for a short time when Parallel42 pitched their ideas to Orbx. Edson has been an inspiration, creative and constructive in his approach to developing partnerships in the flightsim industry. Keep it going. I look forward to what's coming.
Harold Mann
Edson provided operations management for our team of admin staff and consultants. This position required much prioritization, interfacing with customers, vendors and employees, and judgment calls throughout the day. He keeps a positive demeanor regardless of any daily turbulence, which is important in our kind of business. Our staff got along great with him, and his efforts to streamline our internal training and knowledge base were very successful. Edson is also seasoned with the needs of small businesses and what they expect and require from their technology partners. He's like a swiss-army knife, lots of useful tools all packaged together, except I would bring Edson on an airplane with me.

Aug 2008 - May 2010
My role was to make sure all customers were pleased with our service while ensuring there were no bottlenecks or duplications of effort in our internal processes. On the “new biz” side I introduced myself to interested clients and presented them with our services. During the initial meeting I listened to their needs to measure and create business opportunities for Mann. Three Account Managers and six Consultants reported directly to me. This put me in a unique position to influence both the customer and technical side of the business utilizing most of my work history. I prioritized based on my overall assessment of who needed assistance first. This sometimes meant rearranging priorities for others. My days often felt like a game of Tetris.• Strategized closely with the President to lead cross-functional departments in day-to-day operations.• Developed and implemented “best practice” operational procedures.• Successfully managed technology infrastructure implementations and migrations.• Provided consulting on new client visits, including initial project scoping, statement of work, and time/cost estimates.• Negotiated service contract renewals and advised growing clients of service level expansion benefits.• Managed ten staff members, including three account managers and six IT consultants.
