NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 3, 2015 – Centresource – a leading-edge software company – has named
Founder Nicholas Holland to the additional role of chairman and tapped Brandon Valentine as managing partner to position the firm for future growth.
Valentine – a software developer and well-respected thought leader in the local technology community – has been with Centresource for nearly six years and was named lead technologist in 2010. Before joining Centresource, Valentine worked at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, supporting scientific research through his expertise in high performance computing. While there, he helped bring Nashville’s first Top500 supercomputer to the campus. Valentine also worked in Nashville’s music industry at local agency BubbleUp. In 2012, Valentine joined the founding board of the Nashville Software School where he continues to serve Nashville’s growing community of graduates, helping to address the local workforce shortage in technology.
“I am excited about this next chapter in the growth and sustainability of Centresource, and the opportunity to better serve our clients, community and industry,” Valentine said. “Our entire team is energized and engaged to bring additional vitality to Nashville’s thriving and expanding technology sector.”
Holland founded Centresource in 2003 and is also founder of Nashville’s JumpStart Foundry, Surge Growth and Populr.me.
“This is a new era of strategic growth in a rapidly changing technology marketplace,” Holland said. “We are fortifying our more than a decade of superior product development and longstanding relationships to leverage a clear vision for Centresource’s future success.”
The move comes as Centresource transitions to an employee-owned, employee-managed structure. Since its founding, Centresource has created four spin-off companies, expanded its staff and helped clients find success through the three-tiered approach to product management: product strategy, product development and product marketing. Centresource’s client roster includes Bridgestone Americas, The General Insurance, BMI, Vanderbilt University, Ramsey Solutions and more.
