Higher Education Industry Principal
UKG
At UKG since 20014, Ms. Perkins serves as the voice of the higher education industry. She works with all groups (marketing, engineering, support, etc...) on the design, sale and implementation of industry-specific functionality in all our products. Her experience gives her the unique viewpoint into what is needed by industry and what is possible with our flexible technology. Prior to UKG, she worked with the State of Massachusetts' higher education institutions on issues related to governance, measurement and data-driven decision making. Her IT experience with the City of Boston served to help her bridge the gap between developers and users, a role she served before rising to the CIO. By truly understanding her customers (the departments of the City), she was able to drive technological change to improve the user experience and create efficiencies in their operations.
