MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agile Frameworks®, the category leading provider in integrated field and lab management SaaS solutions for Construction Materials Testing (CMT) and wider geotechnical engineering services in North America, today announced Alicia Schimke as its new Chief Technology Officer.

Alicia most recently was the Senior VP of Information Technology at Augeo, a global leader in engagement platform technologies and data-driven experiences, where she led large scale architectural assessments and software projects to modernize applications for scale and growth.

She started her career in software development at Securian Financial before managing application development teams at Ackmann & Dickenson. She then joined MotivAction as the Director of Software Engineering, which was subsequently acquired by Augeo.

“We are building a clear category leader with our product led growth strategy,” said David Gagne, President and CEO of Agile Frameworks. “Alicia has a proven track record of success when it comes to accelerating growth and modernizing platforms to meet current and future market needs. We are thrilled to have her lead our technology teams as we continue to launch market-specific product innovation.”
