Brenda has had a wealth of experience in building bridges to global business. An industry recognized expert on both the business and technological aspects of international product delivery, she has managed many project teams specializing in building global software.

Under her leadership, Bridge360 has become known as the "go to" experts for technology companies who deploy their products around the globe. The Bridge360 team has grown its client base to over 35 flagship companies across both the public and private sectors, and brings technical talent to projects from multiple regions around the world.

Having worked at IBM, Compaq Computer, BMC Software, Cirrus Logic and several technology start-ups, Brenda has many years of industry experience, including serving as BMC Software/Austin's Globalization Manager, where she established the strategy, processes and guidelines to support BMC's product offerings across Europe and Asia. This global expertise is invaluable to Bridge360's clients.

On the national level, she serves as Secretary / Treasurer to the U.S. District Export Council National Steering Committee (NSC) and chairs the NSC Technology & Communication Committee.

Locally, she volunteers her time to the next generation of global business leaders through the University of Texas McCombs School of Business.

Brenda's professional passions (when not behind the wheel of a muscle car) include linguistics, championing cultural awareness, and international projects that help companies take their software beyond its borders.

As CTO, Chris has led the Bridge360 technical team in many successful projects in areas such as international software development, mainframe-to-web migration, accessibility and translation. Chris often takes the lead for Bridge360's most complex projects (such as taking a critical automotive supply chain application to Asia) and usually serves as a coach for the technical teams.

Prior to joining Bridge360 in 2003, Chris was a senior product developer specializing in internationalization at BMC Software. He created an international training program for developers and provided internal consulting on internationalization projects. Chris has also worked on software projects at Cirrus Logic and IBM and has experience with embedded systems and device drivers.

Chris's love for computers goes back to the days of the Commodore – yes, he still has his! He is a virtual encyclopedia of technology bits and bytes, which he uses in concert with skills learned from other passions (chess, soccer, fencing, and music) to orchestrate and build beautiful software. He shares his technical expertise as an instructor for the Austin Community College's Localization Program.

Chris's ethics and high standards demonstrate serious discipline and respect for others from his school days at the Missouri Military Academy. He abides by these standards in every relationship, bringing commitment, dedication, and drive to Bridge360 in many ways every day.
