Dave Putney
IT Manager
Dave Putney
IT ManagerDave is our amazing IT guy who manages SES’s internal IT infrastructure. His passion for exploring and problem solving lead him to an old 486 with inadequate storage and a RedHat 5.2 CD that rekindled a child hood fascination with computers – and he hasn’t looked back.
Dave is excited about incorporating past experience in managing technical support, logistics, and data processing for over 300 remote point of sale systems across Canada with the emerging opportunities in Building Automation and IoT security.
When Dave is not troubleshooting client VPN connectivity issues or repairing noisy laptop fans, he is probably enjoying his 22 km bicycle commute to or from the office. Dave cares deeply about social responsibility and the environment and is thankful he can support the team at SES on their mission to help stop global warming.
