TEM Leaders and Technology Consulting Experts

At his core, Curt a visionary. He likes to think outside the box and create opportunities where others might see obstacles. Early in his career, he met with industry experts and mentors who advised him against entering an already-saturated field; however, he followed his gut and saw opportunities to change the status quo. With his “get it done, no excuses” attitude, he knew starting his own business was the vehicle he would use to not only control his own destiny, but to change an industry.

Today, Curt is responsible for the entrepreneurial leadership, operations, and direction of LinkSource Technologies©. He channels his creative expertise by influencing the development of new applications to change conventional processes and improve the client experience. He currently has a patent pending and plans for future product development opportunities.

But what has his entrepreneurial creativity brought to life? Over the years, he has seen clients struggle with the traditional (and somewhat antiquated) RFP process. He also saw the trend to reduce time and resources required to run an RFP and knew there had to be a better way. He decided to build a more simplified, but fully automated, RFP tool to solve these common problems—and that tool is DirectRFP©.

With more than 20 years of experience, Curt is now considered an authority in the telecom industry, participating in several advisory councils while also staying current on new innovations. With the help of his valued employees, he has led LinkSource to become a recognized telecom, cloud, and Telecom Expense Management consulting firm on the west coast, where they manage millions in annual client revenue for some of the most prominent brands.

Curt’s ambitious spirit has also led him to take on endeavors like becoming an angel investor in the biochemical and technology industries, as well as being an active philanthropist. In his personal time, he enjoys golfing, cycling, snow skiing, and traveling the globe.
