His experience includes leading teams for GetUsROI, RedPrairie, and McHugh Freeman.

As Vice President of Account Management, O'Malley brings over 30 years of experience with multiple industry-leading companies in the supply chain, retail, and payments software and technology space to Softeon. 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. She will be essential in creating and executing talent strategy that prepares Softeon to improve its capacity for solving problems and managing the processes for future industry needs and innovation.
