Christopher Steele, Managing Director, Product Management & Innovation
Previously Managing Director, Software Services, Steele has been with Abacus since 2009. He oversees an in-house software team that created and continuously evolves Abacus’ proprietary Client Portal software and over the last year took on an expanded role leading the company’s product management initiatives.
“The majority of our new products and features tie directly into the ever-growing capabilities of our Client Portal, so it was a natural fit to move our product management under Steele’s purview,” said Bohrer. “His new title reflects his expanded responsibilities and focus on innovation when it comes to our product roadmap.”
Bohrer’s and Steele’s appointments to these newly created roles marks Abacus’ continued growth and development. During 2021, Abacus hired its 200th employee and acquired ECHO Technologies IT services business, growing total employee headcount by 26%. The Abacus team in Dallas grew 58% in the past year and the New York team grew by 20%. Hiring for remote support, project management, and account management doubled. Significant investments in engineering, employee training, and business intelligence were made to support client end-user growth of 35%.
