Management
When Hyphen Solutions says that its system is built for builders, by builders, it’s no idle boast.
Our executive management team brings a wealth of experience and insight to your business.
Felix Vasquez / President & Chief Technology Officer
Since March, 2002, Felix has managed the company's strategy to tightly integrate builders with their
respective supply chains, to ensure robust communications between the on-site builder, back office
personnel and the trade partner network. Felix has been instrumental in starting Hyphen's User Group which
helps to drive product direction. This group has helped Hyphen develop the most feature rich supply chain management
tool in the industry.
As CTO, he oversees the critical functions of product development and deployment. Felix pays special attention
to detail on Hyphen's infrastructure to ensure our systems are available to clients. As President, Felix is responsible
for client and prospective client relationships and keeps a keen eye aware for potential business relationships with industry
solution providers.
