Blair joined the OneDigital leadership team in April 2017, to help guide OneDigital through increased technology and business demands.

This recognition speaks as a testament to the incredible growth of OneDigital and the amazing team we have put together. It’s exciting to look back on all that was accomplished, and I look forward to bringing OneDigital to the next level through technology innovation. Recently, the technology team and I have been focused on improving IT operations, including moving Mission-Critical Systems to the cloud drastically increasing our ability to scale and support a user base that has more than doubled in the past 2.5 years. We are also leveraging leading-edge solutions to apply technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to our environment working to create a seamless experience for our customers and improve efficiencies internally.
