NEPIRC · Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center
Director of Technology
November 2021 – Present
- Direct NEPIRC’s information systems, security, disaster recovery, and AI policy.
- Built the Salesforce object that tracks employee expenses and mileage for federal reporting. Review the records each month, send back what is wrong, and approve the organization-wide credit-card expense reports.
- Built the KPI, budget-versus-actual, pipeline, and sales-forecast dashboards, with year-over-year and month-over-month views for project managers and business advisors.
- Selected Conga for proposals, set it up, and trained the staff. That took the manual work and the errors out of the proposal process.
- Conduct NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 gap analyses for regional manufacturers, and report the findings.
- Ran NEPIRC’s NIST Supplier Scouting work: industry trend data, and matching Pennsylvania manufacturers with domestic suppliers.
- Write the grant narratives and the closeout reports, and maintain the CRM bridge between NEPIRC and Pennsylvania DCED.
- Run the quarterly state and federal client impact surveys. Schedule the interviews, pull the project reports and talking points, sit in on them, and use them to help manufacturers report their impact and hear about grants and services they may need.
- Since May 2025, when the marketing manager left, cover promotion for events and trainings: cut sheets, social posts, e-blasts, the WordPress site, SEO reporting, and open rates and registrations.
- Run Manufacturing Day, NEPIRC’s largest event, at more than 300 attendees and 100 exhibitors, and the Advanced Technology and AI Summit, including exhibitor sales for both.
- Launched and host the Manufacturing Matters podcast, and appear on television and radio on manufacturing and AI on the factory floor.
