Chuck has a brilliant and innovative mind, and the drive to get his ideas made into reality. His leadership skills are second to none, and he has an amazing ability to see a product from design to implementation. The products that I worked with Chuck on were well thought out and cutting edge in eLearning technologies. He is the kind of person you want leading your team.
Tom Modl:
Chuck is an excellent team leader, developer, and product visionary. He builds up and motivates internal teams to work hard and be excited about what they do. He excels at collaborating with internal stakeholders, such as content experts and sales representatives, in developing and promoting products. He maintains strong, fruitful partnerships with vendors. Chuck is excellent at seeing where a market is going and knowing what changes need to be made to a product in order to maintain and grow its presence in that market. Finally, Chuck displays a calm, positive attitude that is invaluable when the inevitable challenges arise during software development and product launch. He would be a great addition to a leadership team.
Michelle Estes:
Chuck is the most insightful person I know in the ed tech industry and is very knowledgeable in providing innovative digital technology solutions. Because of Chuck's extensive experience, innovation, and expertise in the ed tech field, Paradigm Education Solutions would not be the success it is today. His hard work, dedication, and commitment to quality products has provided so many opportunities for instructors to be more versatile in their instruction which in return has brought higher student success rates in the classroom

Greg Lyon:
I've built software products with Chuck for 15 years and there are two overriding traits that everyone who works with Chuck learns. First, he is a visionary. He imagines a thing that his teams may think isn't doable, and then rallies his teams to achieve that very thing. Second, he is a consummate team player and leader. Building custom software is hard and he understands the value of focusing on the problems not the people, when the going gets tough. I look forward to collaborating on amazing new projects with Chuck for many years to come.
Robert Galvin:
I've worked with Chuck Bratton for nearly 20 years. He not only ran, oversaw, and managed a team to run the IT systems as EMC/Paradigm he also was the VP of Digital Product Development that led the team, along with the Publisher and myself (VP Sales), that created the original learning and assessment program called SNAP that propelled Paradigm into a top player in the Introduction to Computers and Computer Applications market. Without the SNAP piece Paradigm would not have been able to compete but through Chuck Bratton's expert leadership and development Paradigm doubled its business over a span of 10 years and became a major player in this educational segment. Chuck not only led the team to develop the program but also provided training for reps, did presentations to college committees for major adoptions and provided and trained the team for technical support. Since the first iteration, Chuck has made numerous improvements to this learning and assessment platform for over the past decade for every new version of Microsoft Office continually keeping Kupferle at the forefront of the marketplace in this area. Chuck also oversaw and managed several other digital projects including Computer Concepts, Keyboarding, Medical Terminology, and several other textbook series in various disciplines that enhanced and helped the products become even more successful in the marketplace. Knowing and working with Chuck, I always had total confidence in his leadership and decision making in the development of the digital content he created and was surprised many times at his vast knowledge and grasp of the disciplines he developed in and his innovative suggestions to continually improve the product lines with new digital content. If you want one of THE best IT digital developers in educational publishing, you would not hesitate to hire Chuck Bratton. I am happy to communicate further with anyone who would require more information for a recommendation and Mr. Bratton can provide you with my contact information.
