Meet Quicksilver Software Development Inc, an iWIST Platinum Sponsor

If you attended iWIST’s Women in STEM Leadership event on January 25 2024, you may have met Quicksilver’s VP of Operations, Hank Oudman and Chris Coldwell, its Owner/ Founder. As an iWIST Platinum Sponsor of events for women in STEM careers, Quicksilver demonstrates their commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the tech industry. They support women in STEM by helping us to connect and support one another, building toward an inclusive and supportive environment for all STEM professionals.

Last month, Chris and Henk introduced their latest venture, the Quicksilver Business Innovation Group. This endeavor was prompted by the understanding that transformational projects require a holistic approach. Their new division is all about championing the interplay of people, processes, and technology to drive success in a really comprehensive way. Taking this step is a new way for Quicksilver to live their commitment to support and nurture business growth and scalability.

Chris and Henk launched this new division to build value from dynamics they uncovered through observation and experience: technology supports processes, processes support people, people support the business, and the business supports its customers. As Chris noted in a recent blog post, “Quicksilver bridges the gap between strategy and execution. We don’t just offer advice; we roll up our sleeves and become your partner. Our hands-on approach is designed to make strategic plans a reality, ensuring that every aspect of your business transformation is met with the precision it deserves.”

In taking this approach, Quicksilver’s team works from their core values of integrity, accountability, commitment, and passion to tailor solutions. Their team empowers businesses by growing their skills, streamlining processes, and implementing cutting-edge technologies. As markets and technology evolve quickly, businesses need to adapt swiftly. By facilitating scalability and growth, they help businesses to adapt to the dynamic market landscape. By harnessing the intelligence of the entire team and focusing on change management, Quicksilver ensures that its solutions align seamlessly with the unique needs and goals of its clients.

iWIST is a community of people driving positive change, and we thank the Quicksilver team for supporting and being part of our community.
