Joseph Thompson is an early investor in Visual Workforce and board member. He brings the team 25 years of enterprise software sales, customer success, and Software Development / IT consulting.  Joseph’s current role at aPriori as Chief Customer Architect is to guide customers to faster time to larger value at corporate leadership and executive levels while also guiding the aPriori product to better meet customer needs.  He has held Corporate Strategy, Strategic Account Sales Executive, and Consulting leadership positions after building technical leadership competency as a field architect with PTC.

Joseph also managed a cross-functional team to lead 2 of the top ten strategic accounts.  Joseph is a combat zone veteran with 15 years as an Officer in the US Army with Infantry and Combat Engineer expertise.

In his view Joseph is most excited about two key use cases solved by Visual Workforce:

1. Finding hidden skills in the organization to enable internal mobility and reduce staff churn while providing the basis to increase employee satisfaction.

2. Enabling M&A success as resources can be purposed in their best position during integration by matching resources to new target job models.

At Visual Workforce, Joseph is instrumental in helping set sales strategy and business development direction with an eye toward first time to value with customers so that they both maximize their investment in Visual Workforce and enable future partnership.
