Authoria Appoints Brian Hearing as Vice President of Professional Services

Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced Brian Hearing has joined the company as vice president of professional services. Hearing is responsible for managing the development of Authoria’s professional services offerings, focusing on maximizing customer satisfaction and creating shorter, more repeatable implementation cycles.

"As Authoria’s customer base continues to grow through new business and acquisition, it is critical that we maintain our high customer satisfaction standards and retention rates,” said Tod Loofbourrow, president and CEO of Authoria. “And as Authoria further solidifies its position as the leader in the human capital management industry, it is essential we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our more than 300 enterprise customers.”

Most recently, Hearing served as vice president of solutions delivery and consulting at PeopleSoft where he successfully increased revenue and grew margins. Prior to joining PeopleSoft, Hearing was founder and partner of TeamOne, a consulting organization that focused on rapid implementations. TeamOne was sold to PeopleSoft in 1997.

“Joining a rapidly growing company like Authoria is an exciting opportunity. With the recent acquisition of Hire.com, Authoria has quickly added more than 70 new customers,” said Hearing. “I look forward to working with these enterprise organizations to ensure a smooth transition process, while continuing Authoria’s track record with customers of  keeping them happy and establishing strong, long-term relationships.”

In this new position, Hearing replaces Chuck Clessler. Clessler has taken on a new role at Authoria as vice president of global channels, where he will develop and oversee Authoria’s ongoing channel strategy, including systems integrators, outsourcers, and international distributors.
