THE LINKSOURCE LEADERSHIP TEAM

At his core, Curt is a visionary. He looks to innovate and create opportunities where others might see obstacles. Early in his career, he met with industry experts and mentors who advised him against entering an already saturated field, but he saw opportunities to change the status quo and followed his gut. With his “get it done, no excuses” attitude, he knew his own business was the vehicle he would use not only to control his destiny but to change an industry.

Today, Curt is responsible for the entrepreneurial leadership, operations, and direction of LinkSource Technologies. He channels his creative expertise by influencing the development of new applications and services that change conventional processes and improve the client experience. He currently has a patent-pending and plans for future product development.

What has Curt brought to life with his entrepreneurial creativity? Over the years, he watched clients struggle with the traditional (and somewhat antiquated) RFP process. He also observed a trend toward reducing the time and resources the process requires and knew there had to be a better way. To solve these common problems, he built a more simplified and fully automated RFP tool. That tool is DirectRFP.

With more than 20 years of experience, Curt is now considered an authority in the telecom industry, participating in several advisory councils while staying current on the latest innovations. With the help of his valued employees, Curt has led LinkSource to become a trusted resource for telecom and cloud service procurement, telecom expense management, hardware sourcing, and IT asset disposition managing millions in annual client revenue for some of the most prominent brands.

Curt’s ambitious spirit has led him to endeavors such as philanthropy and becoming an angel investor in the biochemical and technology industries. In his personal time, he enjoys golfing, fly fishing, snow skiing, and traveling the globe.
