Gifford is the architect behind bringing the engineers of Atlantic Webfitters together and brings a highly informed background in business flow technology, web services and human relations. Gifford’s strengths include his strong personal communication skills and capacity to evaluate business processes in order to educate potential clients on the value of DotNetNuke to their businesses. “Gifford is one of the most unusual people I’ve met in technology — in a good way. Here is a guy who grew up a Nova Scotia lobsterman (he’s shared lobster recipes with me) and was educated as a minister…and without shedding either of those identities built a serious tech company about as far geographically from Silicon Valley as you can get. He’s won the attention of Microsoft and the U.S. Military. And he’s always been willing to share his expertise with me. All in all, Giff is a great story.” ~ Kevin Maney Columnist, Tech Writer, Cover Stories Editor, USA TODAY
