Christopher Jordan

Sr. Project Manager & Scrum Master

“I worked as a Buxton Consultant for over 4 years and would gladly do so again. From the very beginning of the relationship, Buxton found the best consulting opportunities and took care of all the details behind the scenes with the customer. That same level of care and attention to detail continued throughout the many years I spent with the company. Buxton is a great company and any consultant given the opportunity to work there is very fortunate.”

Manjunath Narayanaiah

“Being an experienced performance specialist, automation and applications engineer I had a rare opportunity to work with Buxton’s principle architect where every conversation was a learning experience. Every member of Buxton were very professional and helpful.”
