Kirby Okuda

Enterprise Account Executive, Government Accounts

"Even though more money is going toward education grants than ever before in our nation’s history, most schools don’t have the resources to go after the funding they need or qualify for. I worked in education for 10 years and learned the ins and outs of education operations and funding. At SageNet, I’m able to use that experience to help schools identify grants for technology. One area I focus on is broadband in education, making sure students are connected to bridge the ‘digital divide.’ The best part of what I do is creating a win-win-win situation for everybody."

Kirby Okuda is an experienced operations manager with a long history of success in the e-learning industry who has taken his extensive knowledge of government grants to help maximize savings for schools, hospitals, and libraries’ technology/networking services.
