Matt Buchanan, FeneTech director of software development, announced the promotion of Nick Orlando to development group manager.
Over the last two years, Orlando has served the development group as quality lead, where he was responsible for much of the development team’s customer support. According to Buchanan, “Nick has had an outsized impact on the success of our software development here at FeneTech. His accomplishments to date are numerous on multiple fronts.”
Orlando has been with FeneTech his entire career. During that time, Orlando has had a role in developing software features, as well as contributing to support, code review, hotfix and documentation process improvements, and leading multiple developer lunch and learn sessions.
“I am thrilled that the continued growth of our software development team provides opportunities for our valued employees,” says Ron Crowl, FeneTech president and CEO. “Nick’s combination of technical and interpersonal skills made him an easy choice to fill this critical role at FeneTech. I’m happy to welcome him to our management team”.
In Orlando’s new role, he will serve as group manager for both the software development’s production and service teams. According to the company, his vision for the production team includes pushing the boundaries to ensure the company remains on the cutting edge of automated manufacturing. For the service team, Orlando plans to increase the use of cloud and web-based services. “To each of my teams, I plan to bring optimism, enthusiasm, and a deep desire to innovate while making the best possible and providing the best service and support to our customers,” he says. “If my team members aren’t excited to come to work every day, it’ll be my mission in life to fix that.”
