Lorraine Pauls Longhurst - Managing Director
Lorraine Pauls Longhurst began her career in Canada as a Sales Engineer at LivePage, an XML/HTML Content-base Management System. Lorraine continued her Sales Engineering work at Janna Systems and Siebel Systems (CRM). In those roles, she worked with New York based clients including Lehman Brothers configuring and positioning the Customer Relationship Management solution specifically for the Investment Banking and Institutional Sales Industry.
After multiple years as a Sales Engineer with Workbrain (now INFOR), the leading provider of Workforce Management Software, she moved into a role leading a team of product managers/analysts designing and marketing two products. One product was the Schedule Optimization solution designed for the Retail Industry and the second product was the Staff Scheduling solution designed for Healthcare.
With Workbrain, Lorraine moved to Sydney, Australia to help grow the organisation there. In her varied role, selling software and providing product and implementation expertise to existing clients, she played a large part in growing the client base from one to five and re-positioning the product for the Australian market, for clients including Woolworths, Australia Post and Bunnings Warehouse. This resulted in the acquisition of the company by INFOR.
Lorraine has spent the last few years writing articles for CIO Magazine and ComputerWorld whilst managing and providing Scrum coaching for multiple projects including a Financial Advisor software development project at Manulife, an e-Learning implementation at CSI (in Canada), an Oracle/Siebel implementation at DADHC (Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care) and a Data Warehouse project at the Ministry of Transport.
Lorraine is a certified Project Manager (PMP) and ScrumMaster (CSM) with expertise in the use of Agile software development methodology. She has a technical background with an Honours Information Systems degree from the University of Waterloo.
