Meet The Team
We are
Cloud Generation.
You may have noticed most of us are Higher Logic alumni or close friends of the association space. That collective experience of building and growing alongside our association and community partners is integral to why we’re here and together now. It’s an ever-evolving landscape, and we want to keep building the technology that will grow and evolve with you.

When not at her laptop, you can usually find Heather looking like a mad scientist in the kitchen, experimenting with a new recipe or craft cocktail, or in her garden nurturing her “plant babies.”
