Sessions
Technology – IT is just a tool
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Thu
Bart Bushong is the Senior Partner and CEO for RFX Technologies. He married his high school sweetheart, Lori, after college in June of 1993. They have two awesome adult children, James (Lauren) and Jenna and are the proud grandparents of a beautiful little girl.
Bart is not what you would call a "tech" guy other than the fact that he likes gadgets and learning about all the newest cutting-edge stuff. Bart's role in the company is that of operations. He began his fascination with business at the age of nine when he realized people would actually give him money if he worked for them. That is when he started cutting grass using the old-style lawn mower; you remember the one without the engine?
From his early beginnings, Bart found that those who worked the hardest, often got rewarded through promotion and responsibility. From the time he entered the workforce he began moving up the ladder. While attending the University of Kentucky he worked full time in a management role for a national chain and later became one of the youngest General Managers for an international chain. Throughout his career Bart has gained experience in management, sales, purchasing, financial consulting, negotiations, training, and has led a few seminars. Bart has helped lead, grow, and run multi-million-dollar companies in several different business sectors.
Apart from the financial side of operations at RFX Technologies, Bart really enjoys meeting people and working with them to achieve the technology goals of their various companies. His years of experience have given him the ability to understand the various ins and outs of using technology to advance business. He is involved in technology planning and budget meetings for several of our clients. Helping a client to achieve their goals with the budget that they have is one of the things that Bart finds most rewarding.
