He’s served in various leadership roles focused on sales, account management, go-to-market, and product management. With a focus on ensuring customers receive impeccable service and solutions assistance, his background includes service for NCR Corporation, Verifone, Salesfusion, and RedPrairie.

McGuire is a human resources professional who brings over 25 years of experience in aligning employee development with organizational goals.
