Theresa Santiago
Theresa Santiago, Account Executive with COUNTERPART has spent more than 20 years in the ERP software space. Her experience spans support, implementation and software sales into job shop manufacturers. Delighted to join the COUNTERPART team she shared, “my role allows me to partner with engineer-to-order/custom build manufacturers. I am excited about this because these manufacturers fell by the wayside in the ERP software space until now. With COUNTERPART, our engineering-driven manufacturing solution works like they do. We help speed up the engineering to manufacturing hand-off, increase efficiencies in engineering and through shipping up to 30% while reducing errors, costs, resulting in increased customization capacity without adding resources, better communication and overall increased profitability. It’s rewarding to be in a role to help businesses grow and prosper.”
