Spendolini’s career with Oracle technologies and Oracle APEX span decades. He started his career in 1996 at Oracle in Bethesda, Maryland, where he worked with Oracle eBusiness Suite for almost seven years and was a senior product manager for Oracle APEX for just over three years. In 2005, Spendolini left Oracle to found an APEX-specific consulting company, Sumner Technologies. Sumner grew tremendously and in 2012, Enkitec acquired them. Enkitec would later be acquired by Accenture, where Spendolini ran the APEX practice for about a year. In 2015, Spendolini left Accenture to restart Sumner Technologies. Three years later, Sumner was acquired by Viscosity, where Spendolini was tasked to be the vice president of the APEX practice. At the onset of the pandemic in 2020, Spendolini returned to Oracle to assist with Oracle’s pandemic response team. Spendolini holds a dual bachelors degree from Syracuse University in management information systems and telecommunications management and currently resides in Austin, Texas with his wife and two children.
