We have many innovative new opportunities ahead of us, and I have never been more confident in our ability to achieve our objectives. We have assembled a world class engineering team. In addition to recent hires, these internal promotions instill confidence across the organization, maintain continuity in our team, and help drive a culture of continuous transformation. I look forward to continuing this culture as we structure this team to scale with our future growth.”

He has also held senior technology leadership roles at KINETiQ DIGITAL, a data-driven digital agency, where he established and led the engineering team to deliver software solutions for clients, and for ForeSee, a leading cloud-based voice of the customer (VoC) vendor, where he designed and implemented a product reviews solution for large eCommerce sites.
“Ben’s strong work ethic, extensive software knowledge, and true dedication to the company have made him a major asset to the engineering team, and the company as a whole,” said Paul Elliott, CEO of Tiger Pistol. “His depth of experience, strong relationships with our product team, and autonomous leadership style provide the perfect combination to bring our technology roadmap to fruition.”
As Senior Director of Engineering, Daniel Vogel holds fifteen years of experience in full-stack software development, and seven years experience working with the Tiger Pistol Collaborative Advertising Platform™. In this new role, Vogel will apply his depth of platform knowledge to evolve and scale the team’s development processes for future growth. Prior to Tiger Pistol, Vogel worked at NovaStor, a data backup and recovery software solutions company as a Front-End Developer.
Brandyn Brosemer has accepted the role of Director of Development Operations, responsible for managing and automating the deployment, operation, and infrastructure of Tiger Pistol’s software applications and cloud infrastructure.
