Welcome to StanleyKnutson.com

I am a business professional with a strong background in software. In my career, I've been part of the leadership team that delivered software solutions covering a broad spectrum of applications.

Most recently, I've been focused on data management applications, specifically master data management (MDM). Earlier in my career, I worked lead product team that used my background in mechanical engineering and knowledge-based systems.

Major News

Feb 2012: The Purisma product and team have been sold to SAP. I will be working on their master data management (MDM) product in their Palo Alto office.

August 2011: Amy and I filed for a building permit to remodel the house. That will be the main non-work project for all of 2012.

November 2007: Purisma was acquired by Dun and Bradstreet (D&B). My title within D&B is "Director Of Technology" for the Purisma group. In this role, I'm working closely with product management and the engineering team to craft future D&B/Purisma products in a way that increases customer satisfaction.

July 2003: I've taken the role of "Director of Back-End Engineering" at Purisma. I am employee #1 of a funded startup with great potential and a nice group of people. I plan to grow the team in a way that creates a fun and exciting company which brings its products to market quickly and with quality. The job is really allowing me to use all of my talent as manager, system architect and developer. One opportunity I have is learning to be The Coach (and not a manager) of a team applying Agile Processes of software development.


This is a pretty simple website - I'd rather be skiing or bicycling in my spare time.
