SOUTHFIELD – Diva Tech Talk interviewed Carey Pachla, President of Fast Switch, a rapidly growing information technology consulting company, with 750 staff members and 2015 sales of $80 million (a 30 percent annual growth rate) specializing in contract, contract-to-hire and executive search services.
Carey’s journey in technology was an intentional one. Graduating as a business major with a human resources concentration from Western Michigan University, Carey thought, long and hard, about which industry would be best for her.
Discussing information technology, she said: “I actually sought it out. When I got out into the field, my first job was in sales for a logistics and shipping company. Loved it, but really thinking long-term, I talked to many people and I researched. At that time, IT was booming and everything I learned pointed me in a technology direction.”
She learned much more on the job. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what all that meant,” she said. “But I started out seeking jobs in IT and that led me ultimately into staffing and recruiting in the field.”
