JOHN WINGATE
MEET JOHN
VICE PRESIDENT, TECHNOLOGY
As the Vice President of Technology here at SilverTech, John oversees the back end, front end, IT and QA teams. He ensures the team is properly staffed, scheduled, and that they deliver on time with quality while adhering to best practices. In this role, he also champions engineering initiatives to better our process, environment, and toolset as we grow, or issues arise. He provides insight into the architectural direction and guidance based on previous success/failures. In his role, he has a daily pulse on his team which allows him to know when to use his past experiences to empathize with bugs, scope, creep, and burnout from long, hard projects because he’s been there before. John has over 17 years of engineering experience, with a very strong background in engineering enterprise-level .Net solutions built upon a variety of platforms with large and complex datasets. Knowing how to properly manage and index large amounts of data is crucial to the performance and user experience of our sites.
John enjoys the unique challenges and problems the role provides while maintaining a technical edge. One of the most rewarding experiences that comes with the role is that there is always a new hurdle to overcome whether it is process-oriented, technical learning, or in the soft skill department where a team member needs someone on one guidance. With that all being said, there is one thing you will never hear John say, that he is bored or that he doesn’t have anything to do.
SilverTech Hires Agency Exec to Spearhead Customer-Focused Growth
3/27/23
SilverTech announced that Michael Giovinelli has joined the growing agency as Vice President of Strategy and Client Success. Giovinelli, a former Boston-based GYK Antler Agency department head, will be focused on driving a customer-centric culture at the 90-person agency and building long-term client-valued relationships through an expansion of digital strategy, marketing, and account management services.
“This leadership role was essential for the next stage of our growth. As we see customer service quality rapidly deteriorating in other industries, we made the decision to double down on providing exceptional service and value to our clients,” stated SilverTech CEO, Nick Soggu. “We’re challenging each other to look at everything we do from the customer standpoint. We’re investing in team training, expanding services, and bringing on experienced leaders like Mike so the measure of our success is really the strength of our relationships.”
Giovinelli’s role at SilverTech will be to reinforce and lead expanded account management practices, work directly with key accounts to develop long-term roadmaps to meet their scaling needs and use his experience to grow the agency’s digital marketing and digital strategy offerings.
“SilverTech has always been on my radar as a shop that's been highly regarded in the industry. I see tremendous opportunity here and am really excited to evolve the business alongside a very talented team,” stated Giovinelli. “This strategic focus will enable us to provide best-in-class web and digital-first marketing solutions that will give our clients a competitive business advantage.”
Prior to SilverTech, Giovinelli worked in both traditional and digital. He has advised clients in verticals including Consumer Products, Retail, Tourism, Healthcare and Financial Services for brands such as Timberland, Sweet Baby Ray’s, Green Giant, and Hometown Financial Group.
