Roderick Montgomery’s Experience
-
Director of Services
Digium, The Asterisk Company
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)
November 2006 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Having built web-enabled telephony apps on Asterisk since 2002, I jumped at the opportunity to join Digium. Digium is disrupting traditional telephony models with Asterisk, breaking new ground in IP communications, and making telephony accessible to developers and users across the globe.
Joining a talented management team, my focus is to develop and direct a robust service portfolio around Asterisk. My managerial responsibilities include the Technical Support Group, the Custom Development/Integration Team, overall Customer Satisfaction Assurance and the Training & Certification Program. -

Centers for Disease Control / Government Technical Services
(Government Agency; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

Managed a $1.2M prime contract at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that installed a campus-wide fiber optic network, building automation systems, and network-enabled fire alarm upgrades at three sites.

Technical Sales Representative
Information Engineering, a Dynetics Company
(Privately Held; 501-1000 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
November 2003 — July 2004 (9 months)
This position was my "sales enlightenment." Presenting voice and data networking solutions in North Alabama and Middle Tennessee, I learned first-hand how a good sales team feeds a company.
We did not employ any "sales engineers," so with my background in networking, I was often the one to explain solutions with technical depth. I also earned the credentials required for Cisco IP Communications partner certification. -
Chief Geek
API Digital Communications
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
October 1999 — June 2002 (2 years 9 months)
API Digital is a regional Internet Service Provider.
Through careful planning and a focus on service quality, increased network size 50-fold while maintaining 99.998% reliability and zero unplanned outage. Initiated co-location services, datacenter buildout, and diverse fiber optic service.
