We Are Oxford Solutions
Matt Fenton
Owner/President
Oxford Solutions’ President is a born leader who has never ceased to be laser-focused, determined and driven. As a lifelong Pittsburgh native, Matt graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with degrees in Business, Economics and Psychology. In his first professional job he discovered recruiting. He thrived on helping people achieve their career goals, solving recruitment challenges, closing deals and affecting people’s lives in a positive way. He channeled that same drive and passion to start his own company in 1998. In the early days it was Matt and a small team, looking up companies in a phone book and keeping hard copy resumes in a 2-drawer filing cabinet. Since then, he has built a recruiting hub in the North Hills of Pittsburgh servicing not only well-respected companies in the Pittsburgh market, but also Fortune 500 companies nationwide.
Dave Krizan
Engineering Lead Sales Manager
Dave is a Duquesne University graduate who is proud to call Pittsburgh home. He is part of the original Oxford Solutions recruiting start up team and currently works as a Lead Sales Manager working and collaborating with IT, Engineering and Professional Services clients. He is highly networked and has gained a tremendous amount of industry knowledge ranging from knowing the specs to design a gear to knowing the difference between Java and Javascript. His likability combined with over 20 years in the business has elevated Dave to “celebrity status”. It isn’t uncommon for him travel around Pittsburgh or even around the country without seeing someone he knows. In his spare time, he attends softball games and cheer competitions for his 2 amazing daughters.
