About Brad Hairston

About Me I spent the first 30 years of my career in consulting across four reputable firms of different size/shape/focus and experienced almost every type of consulting engagement imaginable during that timeframe. What I did best was help my clients leverage technology effectively in order to execute business strategy. This consistently involved simplicity, innovation, teamwork, communication, patience, and really, really good change management. As one client said to me,\"You maintain the calm.\" I\'ll take that-) In my current career with SS & C Blue Prism, my role is both relational and creative – First, I manage Blue Prism’s relationships with the top management consultancies in the market. All of these firms are very active in digital transformation initiatives and helping their C-suite clients embrace new ways of working, so it is important to us that they understand how automation can be a strategic lever in the work that they do. Second, I evangelize the value of intelligent automation through thought leadership development, including the Blue Prism podcast Transform NOW, articles, posts, white papers, webinars, industry event presentations, and meetings with customers. My customer interactions are typically with the business leaders who sponsor/champion intelligent automation across the organization. Outside of work, my priorities are my faith, family, dog (Havanese), mentoring, running a memorial scholarship in my hometown, exercising, reading, movies, travel, the outdoors, and all things related to Texas A&M (Gig \'em Aggies). I am a Type 1 diabetic (diagnosed in 1981) convinced that I will see a cure to this disease in my lifetime. But hurry up-) About SS & C Blue Prism Our mission is to enable organizations to automate routine tasks with intelligent automation, creating empowered employees and satisfied customers. Automate where you can. Use people where you should! In an era of so much disruption and distraction, never has there been a more challenging time to get work done.
