Ryan Doak

Chief Executive Officer

Company Founder and CEO Ryan Doak built NV3 Technologies from the ground up with his business partner, Scott Calhoun.  As CEO, Doak sets NV3’s goals and keeps everything running smoothly.  “I am responsible for the company as a whole,” he says with a laugh.  “I monitor where we are financially and make sure all processes and protocol are followed.”  The job requires Doak to take every angle, to attend tradeshows, field phone calls, and keep a dialogue with NV3’s employees.  Each new week begins with a company-wide discussion headed by Doak and Calhoun, allowing them to witness every aspect of NV3’s growth and needs.  This is the part of his job Doak most enjoys.  “I love seeing NV3 develop, and I love seeing how a variety of different companies use our technology,” he says.  This love of involvement is exactly why Doak created NV3.  “Anyone who starts their own business does it for the freedom of entrepreneurship.  I wanted to be in charge of my own destiny.” Show/Hide

Scott Calhoun

Chief Operating Officer

Company Founder and COO Scott Calhoun can often be found in the manufacturing area of NV3 Technologies, where he keeps a close eye on the kiosk-building process, answering questions and working with his team to implement new technology.  He does this in addition to managing NV3’s supply chain and budget.  It’s a job that requires organization and planning, as well as quick thinking and a strong engineering background.  When he first went into business for himself, it was because he knew he could make a better product by thinking outside the box and rejecting what other cell phone charging companies were doing at the time.  Now that creative mindset is giving NV3 a competitive edge. Calhoun talks about NV3’s future with absolute confidence.  “We’re going to be the next Apple,” he says.  “We create and we support what we create.” Show/Hide

Jacob Peery

Operations and Financial Manager

Jake Peery is NV3’s Operations and Financial Manager, and has worked for NV3 Technologies in different capacities since 2010.  As a Manager for NV3, his job is to oversee sales and assembly operations in order to make sure all stages of NV3’s production run smoothly.  “It’s definitely a job where you learn from experience,” Peery says.  “As far as the financial side, being a Finance Major in college prepared me for all the work I do with numbers, but it’s NV3 that taught me to build business relationships with clients, and now that I’m fully immersed in Sales and Customer Service, I’ve learned a great deal.”  Working at NV3 has meant the development of multiple skills, and Peery says that this is his favorite part of his job.  “I get to wear a lot of different hats,” he says.  “I don’t sit down at my desk and perform only one task–I get to do many different things in a day.”

Tim Treman

Director of Business Development

Tim Treman is NV3’s Director of Business Development.  He brings over fifteen years of experience to NV3.  He has worked in the Software/Technology and Trade Show and Financial Services industries, and now joins NV3 Technologies as a leader in sales and partnership creation and enhancement.  “Once I understood NV3’s unique product and saw that they were building something special from the ground up, I came on board,” says Treman.  “I’ve been challenged helping potential customers move their thinking from the traditional methods of advertising to our unique advertising offering.” Treman explains that sharing NV3’s goals with customers is the most rewarding part of his job.  “I love telling the story about who we are and what we are doing.”

Frank Sladko

Production Manager

Frank Sladko is NV3’s Production Manager.  Sladko focuses on the technical aspects of kiosk creation.  “I build the kiosks, troubleshoot, and do repairs,” says Sladko.  The job requires a diverse skillset and the kind of knowledge base that Sladko, who has worked in facility management and technical maintenance for the past thirty years, can bring to the table.  The job requires everything from soldering skills to circuit board repair.  Sladko relates his favorite part of production management in all seriousness. “Everything,” he says, not missing a beat.  “I love my job.”  He explains that the real difficulty is getting up to speed with NV3’s processes, but that he looks forward to making the company thrive.
