Online Systems Lead

While at Arcimoto, I fulfilled the role of interim CTO/CIO during their IPO and move into their new manufacturing plant with a focus on maintaining a minimal IT footprint. My responsibilities were many and varied. Basically anything information related would cross my desk at some point. Early on I reviewed all of their IT systems with regard to their strategic goals.

I was an active member of the marketing team and advised them with their tracking tools and marketing campaigns. During the IPO, I deployed the stock purchasing implementation with Fund America and consulted the CFO throughout the campaign. I was also tasked with planning workstations for their business and engineering employees and then sourcing and preparing that equipment. The most interesting tasks I was handed were to research and choose an ISP, and then coordinate the implementation of fiber internet to their industrial manufacturing site. I was also tasked with creating vehicle identification numbers for their first 3 signature series vehicles. During my time at Arcimoto, I managed about $150k in equipment and service acquisitions. One of my biggest responsibilities was to identify and install an ERP/MRP/CRM solution suitable for an automotive company and then identifying the initial employees from each department who would go on to be responsible for the production level implementation.
