Start It Up Episode 30: H and D Corp. and MomSource Bring New Tools to Startups

When Volkswagen announced that it was building a manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, TN, H and D Corp. knew that it would be investing there as well.  H and D manages IT for Volkswagen around the world and has made Chattanooga headquarters for its North American operations.

Brandon Miller, Vice President of Business Development, discusses IT Forward, the company's new initiative to provide world class IT management to small and medium-size organizations. By leveraging the Cloud and its trademark discipline, H and D has made its solutions both affordable and scalable.

Everyone knows that moms have incredible superpowers.  However, many moms ( and dads for that matter) have a difficult time re-entering and/or finding the right fit in the workforce.  Many workers today value flexibility and quality of life over money and traditional benefits.

Carlene Vital, MomSource Market Development Director for Chattanooga, explains why companies of all sizes should hire moms and those with "mom" skills.  These valuable workers are more productive and loyal than your average bears. MomSource was founded in Tennessee, but will be available nationally by year's end.
