Title: President & CEO
Joe is the visionary founder, president, and CEO of TEDS, Inc. and the pioneer of the fully integrated software suite for talent management. A life-long entrepreneur, Joe launched CBM Technologies in 1980 following his graduation from Emory and Henry College in Emory, Virginia. The company, a technology & consulting firm, focused primarily on systems development & consulting for large-scale automated manufacturing and warehousing processes.
In 1990, Joe began working on the concept of People Resource Planning©, analogous to today’s Talent Management.

As a result, Joe created the industry’s first recognized learning management system (LMS), subsequently known as TEDS. Under his leadership and with input from the TEDS Consortium, TEDS built our Talent Management solution organically to include all modules in one single-platform database.
Today, TEDS is used in over 145 countries with more than a million users, and is recognized as “the only fully integrated system addressing enterprise-wide talent management” [Bersin & Associates].
