Leadership
The Next Phase Solutions Story
Next Phase Solutions was founded by David Godiksen, who spent the 90s and 2000s building, growing, and selling a business which provided information and technology solutions. Over those years, he learned how to deliver the technology and experience that makes the biggest impact on organizations and users. He also learned that it takes a certain kind of person to deliver both quality and a great experience to customers. For his next phase, David wondered what it would be like to build a company that hired only the best people to solve the most challenging information problems. This has become Next Phase Solutions.
