Lee Buchness
Vice President of Sales
Lee Buchness joined Vision in 2005, and has made significant contributions leading to increasing responsibilities within the organization. Today, Lee leads all areas of sales including strategic planning, new business development, client service, and sales team management.
Before assuming his sales responsibilities, Lee managed Vision’s consultant recruiting efforts. He successfully kept Vision on the leading edge of the industry in the development and management of programs designed to attract and retain top IT talent. Lee’s success with Vision is built on deep industry experience, strong managerial skills, and his focus on creating a positive, rewarding culture to which people are drawn.
“Serving clients and supporting consultants may fall into two sections of the org. chart,” says Lee, “but they are one and the same enterprise. Without great clients, you’ll never attract top consultants who seek and deserve great career opportunities. Experience on both sides of this business helps me appreciate the power and importance of this balance.”
Since the mid-90s, Lee has accumulated entrepreneurial and industry experience in sales and recruiting.
Before coming to Vision, Lee co-founded and helped lead Human Capital Solutions (HCS), an executive search firm focused on technology sales and marketing professionals. At HCS, Lee developed many innovative recruiting strategies and techniques which helped the company place professionals for a wide variety of enterprises, from dot-com start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.
Lee’s confidence and ability to create HCS came in large part from experience garnered at System One Technical Inc., a leading national IT staffing company. Lee was instrumental in launching a new division in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, and became responsible for managing recruiting efforts throughout the mid-Atlantic region. His division experienced faster ramp-up than any previous new division and consistently ranked in the top three nationally.
Lee earned his BS in Economics from St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Lee’s wife and three young children are the real reasons he works to hard on behalf of Vision’s clients!
