    Numina Group has increased their workforce by 34% in the first half of 2022. The company's focus is on designing automation and process improvement solutions that reduce warehouse labor costs and increase productivity and business profitability.

    New hires at Numina Group include several director level senior managers to bring additional executive leadership and industry experience to the firm. It also added additional software engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, project managers, technicians, and customer support managers.

    Kevin Walsh joins Numina Group as director of engineered solutions. Kevin enjoyed a long career at UPS working both as a senior industrial engineering manager and as a facility operations manager. Kevin also worked in the 3PL industry as the Senior Manager of Technology, Engineering and Systems at DSC Logistics, recently acquired as part of CJ Logistics, an international 3PL firm.

    “It is exciting to join an established design and automation firm with a great reputation for innovation,” he said. “I’ve worked both operation management and systems’ engineering roles from the customer’s side, so I enjoy the data driven approach to design with Numina.”

    Walsh added, “I find it rewarding to draw from my 30-plus years of experience to contribute to the firm’s growth and continuous quality improvement goals. Everyone on my team embraces Numina’s objective of providing warehouse automation solutions that exceed our customers’ business and ROI goals.”

    Jeff Vinkler is joining Numina Group as the director of software engineering. He has extensive experience leading software engineering and development teams responsible for designing, developing, and implementing complex solutions, including over 10 years at Accenture. He will lead the software delivery and customer service support teams at Numina.

    Jeff will focus on leadership, team building, communication, and comprehensive project management to help scale the organization to support its current and future growth.

    “I’m very happy to be part of Numina’s organization, and am looking forward to helping deliver quality products for our customers," Vinkler said. "I’m thrilled that my 28 years of experience in software engineering delivery on both sides of the client/vendor relationship can help Numina continue its growth trajectory.”
