Paulsen Elevates Tom Kamnikar To Director Of Technology Engineering

Paulsen recently appointed Tom Kamnikar as Director of Technology Engineering, reflecting the agency's ongoing commitment to delivering a full suite of digital solutions to ag, rural and energy clients. 

As one of Paulsen's more veteran employees, Tom marvels at the expansive nature of digital solutions and the evolution he has observed over the past two decades. "When I started at Paulsen 21 years ago, you could count the number of things you needed to know about web development on one hand," he says. 

Today, his work in the digital space is far more diverse — and Tom is surrounded by talent that reflects that reality. "We're in a really good position right now because we have a team of people on our team who bring unique, complementary gifts and perspectives to the work we do," he says. 

"Tom has been such a rock-solid member of our team, even from those earliest days when we first formed the department," says Chief Technology Officer Sara Steever. "He knows the ins and outs of technology so well and has proved more than capable in equipping our clients for whatever comes their way."

One of Paulsen's main areas of focus for technology is helping clients keep up with the ever-evolving landscape. "There's so much more to do, and we have the talent and expertise with which to do it," says Tom. "We are looking at older digital assets and figuring out how we can push things forward."

Tom is well-known for being a team player, and his willingness to help does not go unnoticed. "I appreciate the trust everyone has in one another," says Tom. "It's a unique environment. Most days, it doesn't feel like work. That's a refreshing, energizing dynamic."
