Paradigm promotes Jackie W. Barlow II to president, COO

Paradigm Software, a technology provider for the weighing industry, has promoted Jackie W. Barlow II to president and chief operating officer (COO) to continue the company’s legacy of service and innovation.

Paradigm CEO Phil Weglein says Barlow is well-suited to the new position and has a record to prove it.

“Since Jackie joined Paradigm, he has helped guide the company to a six-fold increase in employees and a seven-fold increase in sales,” Weglein says. “He has worked through multiple product upgrade cycles and launched many new product modules.”

Barlow is a long-standing member of the Paradigm family, first joining the company as a support manager in 2000. During his tenure, he has played an integral role in the company’s rapid growth and expansion, culminating in his most recent position as vice president and COO, where he was responsible for business development, product demonstrations, contract negotiations, human resources, strategic partnerships and the daily management and financial oversight of the company.

“Paradigm, from its inception, has been fully committed to providing our customers with technology and products that are second to none,” Barlow says. “My 22 years of experience with the company have not only given me tremendous pride in Paradigm’s past accomplishments, but also a clear vision of what needs to happen moving forward. I’m surrounded by amazing leaders and team members—our future is very bright.”

Among the leaders in the industry since 1991, Paradigm offers comprehensive solutions for capturing weights, invoicing, receipt of payment and regulatory reporting. In combining strong software and customization with an industry leading staff, Paradigm is poised for another 30 years of service to the weighing industry.
