After a very busy year and a half, we're nearly done shoring up on new hires here at the Drupal Association. We’ve been working hard to bring in the best talent around, and are thrilled to announce our three new staff members: Matt, Tina, and Brad!

Matt Tsugawa, CFO, Finance and HR Team

Matt (mtsugawa) is joining the Association as our new CFO, where he will be responsible for Finance and HR, and will help develop and drive the strategy of the organization as a member of our leadership team. He brings a rich professional history with him: he has worked in industries across the country and around the world. Early in his career, Matt worked in Japan as a management consultant at the professional services firms, KPMG and Arthur Andersen. After spending a few years as an analyst and business development manager in New York at A&E Television Networks, Matt returned to Portland, where he was born and raised.

Most recently, Matt worked in the energy efficiency industry as the Head of Finance. He holds a BA from University of Colorado at Boulder and an MBA from Yale. When not at work, Matt enjoys “managing" his three children and overgrown puppy with his wife, and when not doing that, he is an enthusiastic, if not yet expert, practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Tina Krauss, DrupalCon Coordinator, Events Team

Tina (tinakrauss) is the newest member of the DrupalCon team, and came on board in mid March. As a DrupalCon Coordinator, Tina will work with each con’s volunteers, assist in con programming and logistics, and work with website content. Tina is also focused on customer support and responds to tickets submitted to our Contact Us form related to the Cons.

A native of Germany, Tina moved to Portland, Oregon several years ago, where she currently resides. In her free time, Tina is an adventurer. She loves to travel around the world -- the farther, the better! She also enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, biking, backpacking, skiing, and more.

Bradley Fields, Content Manager, Marcomm and Membership Team

Bradley (bradleyfields) joins the Marketing and Communications team as Content Manager. He will focus on the planning, creation, and maintenance of content—across all of the Association-managed platforms—that engages and strengthens the Drupal community. For the last six years, he worked to help associations, federal agencies, and universities make their content work better for all sorts of users and audiences.

When he is not at his desk, Bradley is curating Spotify playlists, watching one of his 50+ animated Disney movies, on the hunt for great whisky, or reading Offscreen magazine. He wishes he were Batman, but his superhero powers are definitely still under development.
