Bio
Robert Praul
Over the last 8 years I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Jarrod Koch as a direct report. Jarrod is not only a talented operational leader who understands the scope and breadth of business' technological needs, but he is also an inspirational motivator who helps his direct reports exceed anything they thought was possible. I can recount numerous times he has demonstrated a level of generosity and loyalty to his employees that positions him head and shoulders above his peers. He makes every effort to ensure all employees feel that they are a valued member of the team. Jarrod is a very dedicated family man who brings those values to the workplace. His words and actions have built a very family orientated culture for us to thrive in. Whether he is coaching kids sports, mentoring employees, or performing home improvements, he always puts 100% into everything he does. Jarrod is always pursuing knowledge, and has realized dramatic growth through memberships in executive leadership and peer groups. Due to this relentless pursuit of self improvement, he has grown into a brilliant COO\CIO. I look forward to many more years of exposure to such a wealth of knowledge, experience and leadership.

I've had the pleasure and privilege of working with Jarrod since 2008. His ability to 'think outside the box' and synthesize information is truly amazing. His management style has allowed me to grow professionally and personally. Being in an ever-changing profession, it's nice to have someone with his knowledge and guidance to challenge me and trust me with the decisions I have to make on a daily basis.

I have two overarching responsibilities: Culture & Technology. It is my vision to create an atmosphere that enables people to feel safe in order for them to excel at their duties. Within my vision is setting the bar high on our values (Character, Ability & Trust) and to hold my team accountable. All the while insistently driving our top line revenue up 20% annually and ensure we have the best team to deliver on it. I help my managers develop key performance indicators and then coach them to help achieve success. I believe we learn more from our failures then our success, and we can judge ourselves on how we pick ourselves back up. My technology designs are based on keeping it simple, keeping it fresh and staying away from the tech fad of the day. Technology is overly complicated and it is our job to simplify it in order to ensure our customers can profit on the efficiencies and agility we drive into every system we design & support. I passionately believe in what the cloud has to offer while mixing in the best out of on premise systems. I’m an avid supporter of tablet and thin based technology while understanding the world still needs desktop computers. The future is bright and I’m excited to be a part of it! Show less
