About Robbie Morrison

I have been a member of the technology and business consulting space for over 30 years. Throughout those years, I have built and deployed numerous, elegant technology solutions to help businesses become more efficient. Known as a top technology leader and system architect with extensive knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics AX/NAV/CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Cloud, and infrastructure products, my technical expertise is unrivaled when it comes to rapidly overcoming business challenges for companies of all sizes (start-ups to enterprise-class organizations).

Prior to joining SBS Group, now Velosio, I led and contributed to a number of successful technology firms including a few that I started myself. Some highlights include setting up and operated the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Northwest Georgia (eventually acquired by the local teleco) and starting a technology consulting business that has since spun off two successful consulting entities. 

As evidenced throughout my professional journey, I am a success-driven Executive with a full complement of executive leadership qualities that allow me to cultivate relationships across multiple cultures, nations, and hierarchies while leading through influence and example. Additionally, I am a collaborative, cross-functional team builder adept at resource management, relationship building, product development, negotiations, service and product marketing. I am also committed to continuous learning and improvement while ensuring delivery of top-quality service.

As an insightful and discerning leader, I am well practiced in marshaling organizational resources to implement winning strategies that fuel market share expansion and sustained profitable margins, despite economic conditions. My keen business and financial acumen combine with a solid understanding of the various economic drivers affecting global markets to deliver exceptional EBITDA to my employer.
