From a small kitchen in Atlanta to a booming business across the U.S., we’ve come a long way! Starting as a coding bootcamp in 2013, TTS has now grown into a full-service talent solutions provider, offering training, staffing, and consulting services to individuals and companies alike. Who knew that a simple kitchen could launch such an incredible journey?

We now provide talent solutions to Fortune 500 companies and startups alike, enabling them to rock their digital transformation goals. We’re talking healthcare, finance, manufacturing – you name it, we’ve helped them build and scale their tech teams.

We’ve been super busy building and growing, and we realized that it was time for a change. To reflect our growth, expansion, and strategic focus on talent solutions, we’ve recently rebranded from Tech Talent South to Tech Talent & Strategy! Don’t worry, you can still call us TTS for short.

So, whether you’re ready to build a tech team, hire talent, learn new skills, or partner with us, we’ve got your back. With a fun, innovative, and customer-centric approach, TTS is the go-to provider for all your tech talent needs. Are you ready to join the tech party?

With the goal of championing growth at the intersection of business development and community engagement, Mary cultivates relationships with corporations to meet their talent recruitment, training, and staffing needs. She also leads strategic outreach initiatives to build our diverse talent network. In short, Mary creates opportunities for the advancement of corporations, regional markets, and individual careers in technology.

As a relentlessly cheerful and results-driven collaborator, Mary believes that adversity is an opportunity to achieve positive change at scale. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she played a crucial role in helping Tech Talent South pivot from providing in-person training in 12 cities to offering remote programs nationwide. Mary led a team that grew TTS’ early talent pipeline by over 5,000%, providing underrepresented recent college graduates from around the country free access to technical training and career advancement. She spearheaded the launch of our Veteran’s Tech Accelerator, a program that provides tuition-free training to military service members and spouses. Currently, she is leading the charge to expand TTS’ corporate partnerships, engaging with more than 60 companies looking to grow their digital workforce.
