Why Praxent? | Team

We dream big for you.

Praxent Leadership

Tim Hamilton
Founder & CEO

“The best way to respond to disruption? Own it by disrupting yourself.”

Kevin Hurwitz
Managing Partner

"Digital innovation can be a game-changer or a costly distraction. The difference lies in the people and processes you use to go after it."

Russ Buyse
Chief Operating Officer

“The two hardest parts of new projects are getting started and getting to market quickly. We’re geared to integrate with your team quickly, get the project moving, and show consistent progress to the goal.”

Lance Vaughn
Senior Director of Innovation

"In 2011, Marc Andreessen posited that software is eating the world. Combined with the power of human-centered design, no industry is safe from disruption. Financial services is the final frontier. Don't call 911. Call Praxent."

Ryan Ostrom
Director of Engineering

"A wise engineer understands their worth is derived by their 'low-cost, high-value' solutions, as opposed to the volume or beauty of their own code."

Chris Walker
Director of Operations

“Operational excellence is key to our client’s success. We spend more than 100 hours every time we make a hire. That’s how we ensure we’ve got the best team to put on your project.”

Nick Comito
Associate Director of Design

"If you want to improve anything about your digital customer experiences, start by talking to your customers."

Scott Pennock
Associate Director, PMO

“Throughout my career in software development and software product management, one common thread for successful delivery is project management of scope, timeline and budget - the blocking and tackling crucial for a winning game.”

Jared Cobb
Associate Director of Engineering

"Successful business models invent and then depend on innovative software. So exceptional businesses and exceptional engineering go hand in hand."
