Randy Estep - Vendor Manager

I come from a technical background. I started work as a PC Engineer and obtained several technical certifications including my MCSE and Solaris Admin certification. I continued to grow and take on as much responsibility as possible and worked my way into management over the years. I am an entrepreneur at heart. My wife and I have started several businesses, including an outsourced customer support center, a non-profit organization called eStep Foundation, and even a restaurant. Prior to joining Inovis, I was General Manager of Intelligent Technology Systems: a reseller of technology-related products.

I recently joined Inovis as the Vendor Manager in May of 2007. My role is to manage and enhance the relationships with our Vendor partners. My responsibilities include being involved in the negotiations of contracts associated with our Vendors and managing the budget to help Inovis save as much money as possible. It is important to me that we get the most from our vendor relationships for our money.

I am extremely passionate about cooking. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family (wife, Meredith and daughters, Gabby and Kaitlin). I also love playing with my dogs. I have 7 of them including 5 Siberian huskys—my own sled team! We are also working on starting an Urban Musher's club in Atlanta that enables people to get together and play with their sled dogs—even without snow!
