Leon Fayer ~ VP of Business Development

Leon joined the OmniTI team in March 2002, bringing with him years of experience in working with Internet technology. His expertise lies in designing dynamic, web-based applications to enhance end-user control of a system’s work flow. He possesses a proven background of both web application development and production deployment, including structuring robust database schemas and designing effective administrative back-ends with varied roles and permissions.

 His familiarity with a wide range of technologies—and a technology agnostic mentality—allows him to recommend optimal solutions for client projects. Leon leverages his deep experience with modern Web frameworks  and a well-balanced combination of open-source technology or proprietary software, to develop complex online systems with easy-to-use administrative control tools.

 His management expertise spans the full range of technology operations functions—managing budget and staff, and developing strategic and tactical technology plans, as well as writing code.

Prior to joining OmniTI, Leon worked on projects for enterprise level clients, and the Federal government (including the White House) leading a development team through a series of very successful content management systems implementations. Leon was one of the architects behind what is now, IBM’s premier enterprise content management platform, and led teams through the architecture, design and development of content management (CMS), CRM and workflow systems for very large entertainment, media and sports event clients. These efforts simplified outdated and overly complex existing systems, and reduced editor’s time to upload new content by more than 80 percent and ensuring that the applications could sustain traffic spikes of 800 percent.

As Director of Engagements at OmniTI, Leon is responsible for the overall growth, profitability and staffing of complex and highly visible engagements, overseeing multiple, mid-size projects and large integration efforts. Leon advises clients about critical aspects of project strategies and plans to help ensure project success, and drives the intellectual content on engagements, serving as the lead professional and ensuring delivery of the highest quality work.

 Throughout his career, Leon has taken a proactive approach to anticipating, and preventing or solving problems, assessing the short- and long-term costs, benefits and risks of each option. He has helped numerous firms leverage their information assets to achieve better business results. His innovative problem solving skills, coupled with the ability to consider and implement a broad array of solutions, and an overriding appreciation for exceptional user experience has allowed clients to reach the ultimate goal of all design and development efforts—a more successful business.

Personal Note

I am the longest-tenured non-Schlossnagle employee at OmniTI. I am also apparently the company’s “token Russian guy.”

Outside of work I like watching and participating in pretty much any team sport. Except for baseball. Baseball is not a team sport.

I don’t like vegetables. It’s not food, it’s what food eats.

I have a 70 shadow priest on Mal’ganis. If you know what this means: you’re one of 10 million unfortunate souls who keeps Vivendi’s stock up.
