Software Industry Veteran Roger Fordham JoinsTiempo Development to Lead Growing SoftwareDevelopment Center in Northern MexicoFormer Motorola Software Executive has Experience on Four Continents (Tempe, Ariz. – April 28, 2009) Tiempo Development, a leading nearshore software development and software testing provider, announces the addition of industry expert Roger Fordham to the executive team as vice president of software engineering. Roger Fordham brings extensive experience in creating and growing large-scale offshore development centers to Tiempo Development’s growing development operations in Northern Mexico. Roger Fordham will manage Tiempo’s software development and software testing operations in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. He is responsible for building a world-class development organization through quality processes, talent acquisition, training & development, and operations management. Prior to Tiempo, Fordham had a successful global career with Motorola for 26 years. He was a software development executive with Motorola for over 15 years where he started, developed and managed world-class software development operation in 23 locations in 16 countries. He has created high performing development organizations from the hundreds to thousands in size in India, China, and Australia and other countries. “Roger has lived and worked on four continents where he created high-performing offshore software development centers from the ground up,” said Cliff Schertz, CEO of Tiempo Development. “Tiempo Development grew 400% last year and we see continued fast growth in the future, so Roger’s global experience is ideal for our opportunity in Northern Mexico.” The Tiempo Development nearshore solution combines the value of offshore development with proximity to the U.S. Operating in the same time zone as US customers, Tiempo’s English-speaking developers can collaborate in real time and travel easily – without the headaches of late night meetings, cultural challenges and trips around the world. Fordham says, “I’m excited to be part of another ground-up opportunity with an untapped region right next to the United States in Mexico. There is a great software talent pool in Mexico and the nearshore model also addresses the time zone frustrations and cultural differences that are part of offshoring to other regions of the world.” Fordham is also an acclaimed software development expert and has lectured at many national and international conferences relating to Software Development, Software Engineering, Software Quality and Culture. Roger has either led or been a member of SEI Assessments in the U.S., Russia, China and India. About Tiempo Development |
