Tim will lead OptaZoom’s technology and complete oversight of the operations organization including technology strategy, and platform development. This includes the company’s data strategy, presenting reports on the company’s technology status, goals, and progress, identifying what technologies can be used to improve the company’s products and services, creating and overseeing high-level KPIs for the IT department, and managing the department’s budget. In addition, all other IT and technology teams at OptaZoom will also now report to Tim.
“Tim is a one of a kind in that he brings unmatched experience, countless trials, and errors as well as plenty of wins on his shoulders. His bold, optimistic perspective and unparalleled competence, will attract even more stellar talent to the team,” said Kosman. “Tim’s abilities will further propel OptaZoom technologically which in turn will advance on our mission in simplifying the operations for independent eyecare providers.”
“Having been a part of the early innings of Lynda.com as well as diving into the ZipRecruiter triangle, it’s incredibly exciting to have the opportunity to redefine the future again with Aaron and the OptaZoom team,” said Tim. “After getting to understand the eyecare industry and pain points for optometric practice owners, it’s inspiring to think about how technology will continue to help innovate the way OptaZoom.com can further streamline and enhance the day-to-day for private practice optical and optometry.”
