FRISCO, Texas, March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateway
Architects announced today the addition of Keith Jacobs and Craig Penk to its
advisory board. They join a team of other technology
innovators who are committed to Gateway's flagship
product Meister 2.0, a disruptive solution that for the
first time opens up the way businesses access, utilize and
optimize SAP data capabilities.
Keith Jacobs is president
of Luscinia Health, which he joined in 2014 as an
investor and co-owner. Prior to Luscinia, he served as CEO and
a board member at projekt202, a leader in UX digital experience
software development (sold in Q4 2017). Jacobs also grew another
software firm, which sold to EMC in 2007.
"It is exciting to work with a disruptive technology company
that raised capital and develops technology in North Texas — and will continue to impact
the world of SAP and multi-platform users on an
international scale," said Jacobs. "I've grown and sold several
Texas-based companies over the
last 20 years and have known William
Mays for many years. When William shared the technology with
me, and his vision for the company, I jumped at the chance to serve
on this board."
Jacobs began his career working for Ernst & Young
implementing ERP applications. He earned a BBA in management
information systems from the University of
Texas at Austin. He is currently a guest lecturer at both
the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and the Cox School of
Business at Southern Methodist
University.
"We want to capitalize on Keith's successful experience as
co-founder and board member of projekt202, a disruptive force in
the UX market, and his board role at SMU's tech
incubator," said Mays, chairman and co-founder of
Gateway. "As someone who helped drive a custom UI/digital
intelligence firm to the No. 1 Gardner selection, we're excited to
have his leadership and intelligence on our board."
Craig Penk joins the advisory board while
currently serving as supply chain manager at Hess Oil Corporation,
the nation's first licensed user
of Meister. Penk oversaw
the onboarding of Meister in 2015.
"The impact of Meister on Hess Oil, both from a cost
and real-time data access perspective, was shocking,"
said Penk. "The ROI started on day one. When the opportunity
came up to join Gateway Architects' board, I was honored. This
small company has a solution that fits all enterprise software
users in today's world."
Prior to joining Hess Oil, Penk served as the leader
of BI and supply chain management for Ford Motor
Company. Penk earned a BS in economics and finance from
the University of Detroit, an MBA from
the University of Detroit
Mercy and an MS in computer science from the University of Michigan.
"Craig is a well-respected leader in the oil & gas,
automotive and manufacturing industries," said Mays. "He was
the key contact and an indispensable team member in overseeing
the onboarding and integration of Meister at
Hess."
