| Point B Promotes Keith Figueroa to Managing Director in Seattle
07.05.06 Veteran consultant moves into executive role at local project leadership firm SEATTLE, Wa. - Point B Solutions Group, LLP, a professional services firm specializing in project leadership, has promoted Keith Figueroa to managing director at its Seattle practice. With the announcement, Figueroa now becomes the sixth local associate to be named to Point B’s team of top managers and only the eighth company wide. "With his keen industry knowledge and vast account-management experience, Keith represents a tremendous addition to our Seattle management group," commented Paul Lambert, practice director for Point B’s Seattle practice. "He’s been a key leader and contributor to many of our past successes. We look forward to even greater contributions from Keith in the future." Figueroa spent the past six years serving clients and managing some of Point B’s largest corporate accounts, including Microsoft, Expedia and Corbis. In his new position, Figueroa will continue working with local organizations on their complex business initiatives while taking a more significant role in managing Point B’s continued growth in the Puget Sound region. "This new role gives me the opportunity to leverage my nearly 20 years of industry experience with the goal of positioning Point B as the region’s leading provider of project-leadership services," commented Figueroa, formerly a senior associate at Point B. Figueroa, who joined Point B in 2000, has made a career out of assisting corporations with their most complex challenges in the areas of information technology, business operations, network operations and operations research. Early in his tenure, he was a key contributor to the development of Point B’s account management framework that encourages better, more consistent service to clients, especially large-scale organizations in the local business community. Figueroa has project-leadership experience in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, airlines, wireless, software development and e-commerce. Point B is focused on delivering world-class project leadership and helping a wide range of organizations to solve their bottom line-oriented initiatives. As market demand for these services has increased, especially among regional corporations, Point B has grown its annual revenues by some 25 percent company wide. In addition to Seattle, Point B has practices in Portland, Ore., Denver, Phoenix and San Francisco. Point B employs seasoned, highly experienced consultants with five to 15 years in the profession, compared to employees of other service-providers who generally have far less consulting experience. That level of expertise enables Point B to add value to top-level executives and, most importantly, anticipate problems before they begin to emerge at a critical level. According to Seattle Practice Director Lambert, many corporate executives refer to Point B associates as their own agents, hired to "be their eyes and ears and ensure their projects get done precisely as needed." Figueroa has a Masters of Science in Applied Mathematics (with an emphasis in Operations Research/Decision Systems) from the University of Southern California and a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics (Computer Science concentration) from the University of Washington. He lives in the Seattle area with his wife, Monica, and daughters Morgan (10) and Brooke (7). About Point B
