Jacob Roder (Jake) is the Chief Technology Officer for the Americas coming in with sa.global’s acquisition of Dynamic Consulting. He brings over a decade of experience in Microsoft Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation and solution architecture. At sa.global, he is responsible for client technology strategy and translating Microsoft’s technology roadmap to implementations across the Americas.

At Dynamic Consulting, Jake was the chief solution architect and CTO, where he designed Dynamics 365 solutions for implementations ranging from standard upgrades from AX 2012 to complex multi-national implementations of Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Dynamics 365 Sales, and Dynamics 365 Field Service.

With a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Jake started in the Dynamics channel as a Dynamics AX 2009 user at an engineering firm in the Midwest. He, along with Jon Stypula, co-owns a trade organization – the Dynamics User Group – to support learning and networking in the Microsoft Dynamics space.

When he is not doing all things related to Microsoft Dynamics, Jake indulges in video games. He loves vacations, and so when he gets time to relax, you will find him either on the couch playing Xbox or on a beach reading a book. Jake, his wife, their three young kids, and their dog live in the Madison-Wisconsin area.
