Message from David Ehmann
CEO of Portland Outsource
I started Portland Outsource because I wanted to get my life back. I cannot scale my business without quality affordable help.
During my eight years in Asia, I cultivated profound relationships and recognized the potential of collaborating with talented professionals in the region who can help me and other small businesses optimize resources and grow.
As the owner and CEO of Portland Outsource, I am dedicated to building this company one strategic step at a time. Drawing on my extensive corporate experience with firms such as Nike, Cleveland Clinic, and Cardinal Health, along with having successfully launched three startups in Asia, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table.
Dr Edwin Samson, Portland Outsource Chief People Officer, and I have known each other for more than a decade. He uses the skills and tools he learned in the USA Marine Corp and throughout his decade and a half building ventures in the Philippines to create a sustainable VA operations foundation and develop a world class Portland Outsource team.
We are committed to working around your needs, looking for service optimization opportunities, and investing in your VA. We welcome you to leverage all of our hard work of becoming an employer of record and assembling a high quality team so you grow your business.
Book a call with us today to learn more. We look forward to meeting you.
David Ehmann and Dr Edwin Samson
