About

As ATS Global’s Director of Marketing, Bradley provides a very supportive experience, ensuring everything is running smoothly while exceeding our clients' expectations. His extensive software experience enables him to effectively monitor all backend work so that everything runs according to each customer's specific needs.

Having worked in marketing for most of his professional life, Bradley began his career at the YellowPages, working his way up to the top 5% of the company. After the brand was bought out, he decided to explore the entrepreneurial space by launching his own marketing agency.

Realizing he could maintain his business on the side, while keeping his clientele small and loyal, Bradley decided to pursue more start-ups in all aspects, which led him to this rare opportunity with ATS Global.

According to Bradley, “The best part of this opportunity is getting to work with great people every day and work as a team rather than every person for themselves. It is way more rewarding to see everyone succeed than individually succeed.”

A proud German Shepherd owner, Bradley brings Belle to the office, where she is eager to meet whoever walks through the door.

Originally from Kansas City, Bradley enjoys time outside of work by traveling all over and also spending the time getting out golfing with friends. His last vacation was spent in Thailand, where he enjoyed experiencing amazing beach views and a culture entirely different from his. He also prioritizes time with family and those closest to him.

As a kid, Bradley wanted to be an NFL player and went through a lot of experiences that shaped his competitive spirit, inspiring him to stay hungry and always grind in his professional life. To this day, he would love to be a professional golfer, competing internationally all over the world.

A must-read book recommendation is David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds, and for a podcast: Paul Barron Network.

At the helm of ATS Global’s Sales Operations, Jeff Alexander delivers elite customer support that streamlines productivity for his team and customers. Growing up, Jeff wanted to be a lawyer, which explains his keen attention to detail and ability to explain and persuade in order to inspire action in others.

Prior to joining the ATS team, Jeff worked for Shamrock Trading Corp from 2020-2021, as well as Conversica from 2018-2020, where he was an SDR and Presentation Specialist.

Guided by his own personal values: trust, communication, culture, growth, and opportunity, Jeff cites the company culture as the best part of working at ATS, saying “I’ve never worked with such a tight knit, cohesive team.”

Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, it should come as no surprise that Jeff is a self-proclaimed die-hard Chiefs and Royals fan.

Jeff has traveled outside of the country, visiting Italy with seven of his closest friends.

When asked, Jeff considers J.D. Salinger’s, The Catcher in the Rye, the single book that should be required reading for everyone. His favorite entertainer of all time is Jay-Z.

About

Known as the utility knife by her teammates, Sydney has managed her own small business for the past five years, taking care of all aspects of scheduling, accounting, and operations.

As an integral part of ATS Global, Sydney celebrates “the ‘family’ or team atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable to express opinions, ideas, and concerns as the very best part of the company’s culture.”

Born in Lawrence, Kansas, Sydney is a homegrown Jayhawk.

She and a friend did travel to Mexico in 2019 for a music festival, which was “by far the coolest beach vacation I’ve even taken.”

Since then, and in light of the COVID-19 quarantine, Sydney has amassed a collection of succulents that she enjoys tending to over her morning coffee.

As a kid, Sydney wanted to grow up to become an anesthesiologist… “but only because I thought it was cool I could spell it in the second grade. I would hope that I’m not putting people to sleep at my current job.”

If asked for a podcast recommendation, Sydney cites Mysterious Universe, in which two Australian guys discuss a variety of topics, including conspiracy theories and the paranormal.

In light of her music festival trip to Mexico, it’s no wonder that seeing Beyonce live in concert tops Sydney’s bucket list!

About

Before sharing his talents as the Senior Director of Sales with the ATS Global team, Brett worked as the VP of Sales for OneHQ, an InsureTech CRM and Processing system, where he collaborated with Insurance Distribution companies eager to streamline their processes.

Prior to that, Brett worked at Conversica helping automotive dealerships implement Ai into their systems.

Having dedicated the past decade to the sales industry, Brett values the relationships he builds with his clients, specifically helping them brainstorm solutions to problems or making introductions to people who can help them grow their business.

Brett and his wife, Abby, have two girls, Camille (3) and Juliette (9 months). Outside of work, Brett devotes his time to family and friends, which could look like playing Disney princesses with his daughters or teeing off on the green with close friends.

Born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, Brett attended the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk). After graduation, Brett moved to California, where he spent three years before returning home having “found everything I needed in Kansas City.”

Despite wanting to be an NBA All Star, Brett’s jump shot didn’t quite support his ambitions. However, his ability to connect with people and make friends helped nurture his sales career. If that ever falls through, Brett would take his chance with stand-up comedy, having always loved improv and making people laugh.

The top of Brett’s required reading list is Dale Carnegie’s, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

About

In light of his career path, it makes sense that Ben comes to ATS Global as the Communications Director, after working as the Support Specialist.

An educator for 17 years, Ben perfected the art of communicating with and supporting students, staff, and fellow parents in his roles as Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, Special Education Teacher, Football Coach, Wrestling Coach, Softball Coach, and Baseball Coach.

As someone who values hard work, great relationships with people, and collaboration to achieve goals, it’s not surprising that Ben was named “Teacher of the Year” in his school, later “Assistant Principal of the Year” for the entire state of Kansas.

In addition, Ben was elected by his peers to the presidency of the Kansas Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (KIAAA). All honors, he believes, were representative and the result of his core values.

These professional values extend to his personal life at home, where he and his wife of 12 years, Jennifer, raise their four children, Jenica (22), Henleigh (9), Curran (9), and Bennett (7).

Brett highly recommends that everyone read The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. He cites this title as a key reminder of why you should bring your A-Game every day in every aspect of life. This book inspired Brett to continue to pursue his passion, which is helping kids reach their dreams. Although Brett has left the classroom, he did so because he believes the technology embraced by ATS has the power to positively impact millions of kids across the world.

About

Ryan got his start in the education field, which helped shape his solutions-oriented mindset -- something the ATS team values and celebrates.

In Ryan’s words, “Our ATS team prides itself on being solutions focused. Knowing there is always a way to get the job done is something I add to the team based on my past experiences.”

He explains “The best part of working with our team is exactly that, the team. We all have one goal and one focus. We communicate, challenge, and make one another better.”

Away from work, Ryan spends time with his family. Married to Amy for 11 years, the two share two little girls, ages 7 and 3, who are a blast to be around and always busy with swimming, sports, or just playing outside.

A self-professed diehard, over-the-top Chiefs fan, Ryan loves all things Patrick Mahomes. In fact, his girls include Patrick Mahomes in their nightly prayers, along with a request that the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. As Ryan says when it comes to Kansas City sports, “we’re loyal.”

As a kid, Ryan wanted to grow up to be a professional football player. While that specific dream might not have been in the cards, Ryan is an avid fan of all things sport, from golf to football to tennis, and he even coaches high school football in the fall.
