Bio
Jonathan Lupa
I've had the distinct pleasure of working both for and with Frank as he oversaw platform development and operations on a 400M dollar product suite, during which time I've seen him effectively run a large, global development operation. He's a visionary in terms of identifying and transforming technology positions during periods of industry change. Frank was years ahead of the organizations he was a part of, in terms of creating and empowering DevOps culture and organization, and was at the forefront of cloud transformation. Frank is a dynamic, transformative leader who can help a company navigate technological change effectively and efficiently.

Frank and his teams were always recognized for innovation when I worked with him at Thomson Reuters. I had the opportunity to lead a number of teams while working for Frank and also worked alongside of him on the development leadership team. When Frank was my manager, I appreciated the autonomy and willingness to listen to my ideas. He was always empowering and had great advice for navigating the enterprise. While working for him, we led building a number of applications for desktop, web and mobile that were first of their kind for the tax and accounting industry and often recognized with various industry awards. We were also the recipients of an internal excellence award on several occasions. I learned a lot from Frank over the years and I’d welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
