As President, Marilyn Kelland leads the company with a focus on ensuring smooth operations across all departments: Support, Development, QA, and Sales.

Marilyn’s journey with the company began in November 1994, after spending seven years using C/F Data at an electrical contractor. Her expertise has evolved significantly over the years, progressing from the electrical trade to specializing in the flooring industry and ultimately mastering the application of STRUCTURECloud across all trade industries. Today, she spearheads new development initiatives, ensuring the platform continues to meet the diverse needs of its users.

When she’s not working, Marilyn enjoys spending her time on the golf course, at the bowling alley, or in her sewing room.

As Vice President, Vic Hansen serves as the company’s trusted guide for potential customers exploring the features of STRUCTURECloud. Since joining the team in 2012, Vic has developed an in-depth understanding of every aspect of STRUCTURECloud, enabling him to identify tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each customer’s business. Vic firmly believes that a true partnership with the customer begins after the sale, a philosophy that has been key to his enduring success.

Outside of his professional role, Vic is deeply committed to his community in Plymouth, MA. He cherishes quality time with his family and enjoys outdoor activities, beach outings, and the companionship of his loyal dog, who is often by his side.
