Blair Tolbard

Biography

 A typical day in the office involves a lot of my time listening to ideas and issues and promoting a dialog with my team. Communication is key to our business and our goal is to operate in a state of continuous improvement. It always helps to resolve our roadblocks and refine our strategy through collaboration. We have built our Oracle professional services company around having experts in a variety of disciplines, and find that the different perspectives make for bright and energetic discussions. I also really enjoy going on calls and visiting with current and potential clients, so that is a big part of my routine. Relationships matter here, both internal and external, and I like being in the middle of that. Operationally I’m immersed in coordinating the financial aspects of our company. We started and built a successful business in the worst economy our country has seen since the Great Depression. Our financial stability and growth can be attributed to careful planning, tough decisions that Kent and I have made with our fellow stakeholders and advisors, followed by flawless execution.
