About Wayne Morgan
WHAT I DO: I get \'stuff\' done. I help startup/early-stage companies accelerate growth and achieve scale by providing a \"been there, done that\" perspective and leadership mentoring. SEEKING: Board of Director or Advisory Board positions with early-stage technology companies. WHAT OTHERS SAY:\"If you want to get things done, done right, and done quickly, call Wayne\". MY STORY: Most recently, I was Executive Director of the Growth Mentoring Service (GMS) for the Enterprise Center in Johnson County (ECJC). Previously, I served for 10+ years as Chief Operating Officer at Netchemia, a K-12 Talent Management SaaS software company. During my tenure, the company experienced dramatic people and customer growth, ultimately serving over school districts in 47 states. As COO, I helped lead two add-on acquisitions, a private equity investment by Mainsail Partners, and the eventual sale of the firm to Vista Equity Partners in early 2015. I am an active early-stage venture investor, and former member of ECJC\'s Mid-America Angels. I hold a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in chemistry. SKILLS & EXPERIENCE: Technology | Talent Recruitment and Development | Teaching and Training | Project Management | Chemistry & Engineering | Business Process Automation ABOUT ME: I love learning and teaching. I taught chemistry classes at Vanderbilt, personal computer classes to adults at Johnson County Community College, and a facilitator of Stephen Covey’s “7-Habits of Highly Effective People”. I am an avid road and Peloton cyclist, and Pickleball \"addict\". I enjoy technology “gadgets”, and became involved with computers in the earliest days of personal computing. I am a Google and Android fan, and an early adopter of technology.
