At Davenport Group, we work hard to stay current with the latest technology innovations. Our partners at Dell Technologies, VMware, and Microsoft are leading the way in IT transformation, and we love to talk about their success. Below, we share important news stories and press releases discussing the ever-evolving IT industry.

“Ryan’s project management skill set and industry knowledge will help Davenport Group stay on track as we work to bring the best solutions to our customers,” said Alex Bauer, Vice President of Operations and Engineering.
His technical skills, comprehensive training, and hardware knowledge will make him a valuable asset. Mr. Stabler’s work will ensure that Davenport Group can continue to focus on going above and beyond to meet the needs of their customers.
“We are looking to expand our portfolio of service offerings as we continue to grow the company,” said Sonia St. Charles, Chief Executive Officer of Davenport Group. “Alex’s proven record of driving superior business results and leading transformations make him the absolute right fit for this role. We are more than pleased to welcome him to Davenport Group.”
Sonia St. Charles grew up in a central Tennessee town so small that its residents were outnumbered by her first class at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. From there, though, St. Charles held a series of executive positions in human resources at companies like Deluxe Corp. and Paper Direct, and ran her own consulting firm before founding St. Paul, Minn.-based Davenport Group in 2001 with her husband, Paul Clifford.
The decision to form Davenport came from the couple’s desire to get away from the constant travel their former jobs required, and St. Charles’ desire to take ownership of her career. “I was very successful in HR, but I got frustrated because I was executing other people’s ideas. Davenport has been my petri dish of doing it the way I want to and seeing what the impact is.”
“We’re data center focused, but last year our No. 1 product was client,” St. Charles said. “We don’t lead with client ever, but when a customer says, ‘Hey, can we buy our laptops from you?’ We want them to keep thinking of us for that purchasing cycle. It’s good for us, it’s good for them, and it’s become a significant part of our business.”
