Amy Brown
Amy started in February 2022 as a Business Analyst. Amy analyzes and develops business processes and requirements for software application development. She also designs, tests, and implements new systems and modifies existing systems to meet business needs.
Amy graduated from UW-Madison with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a strong emphasis in Computer Science. She started her career as a Technical Writer but quickly moved into the Business Analyst role while working as a Consultant with Compuware and then Whittman-Hart, both in Milwaukee. Her experience there consisted of working with clients such as Miller Brewing Company and American Airlines on custom development. Throughout her career as a business analyst, she worked for GE Healthcare Financial Services followed by another consulting role with Tushaus Computer Services. From there she began several years working in the eCommerce/Retail space starting at Kohl's IT, followed by Ashley Furniture, and then Boelter Beverage. During this time, Amy worked as a Senior Business Analyst through the development of order fulfillment systems and point of sale/inventory systems as well as the development of a front-end eCommerce site with an SAP back end. For all those positions, Amy conducted as-is process analysis and elicited end user requirements before working closely with technical architects to develop updated systems and recommend more efficient processes. Her most recent experience was as a Business Analyst for 7 Summits (an IBM company) where she worked on Salesforce.com implementation projects.
Outside of work, Amy’s personal interests are centered around her husband and two sons. As a family, they enjoy watching movies from the Marvel Universe as well as the entire Star Wars collection. They also travel to Florida quite often to visit her family near Fort Myers. Amy loves spending time with friends watching movies or playing board games. She stays active in Aqua Zumba classes at the WAC and her latest activity for relaxation is crocheting hats and blankets – usually while binge watching Netflix.
