Douglas Wofford
Senior Director, Operations, Technology and Data
Dr. Wofford insistently proclaims that his life-long commitment to the value of a broad liberal arts education is reflected in his academic and career choices. Starting with a BS in Chemistry/Biology and then winding through a BA in History, a masters in Marketing Management and a doctorate in Higher Education Finance he, of course, chose a career in education technology.
Dr. Wofford’s work career maintained a theme that some call unfocused (but he describes as eclectic) with stints as a Director of Admissions, a consultant, lead researcher for a National Science Foundation project, founder of two enrollment management software companies, Senior Vice President of the College Board’s higher education products and services and Senior Vice President for Technology at what is now Ruffalo Noel Levitz. He finds it perfectly consistent to now be working with Dr. Fabritius at ACS with a focus on operations, finance, technology, data analytics and service delivery.
