Alan Riley
Vice President, Sales-North America
@alanriley
Leading the sales initiatives for 316 Networks is not your typical sales role, because it requires a heart for ministry and an equal passion for technology. That’s why Alan fits right in. His days of leading web technology teams and delivering best practices in both corporate and faith-based organizations translate perfectly into his role of leading our media and ministry strategists.
Alan understands the complexity of the church first hand. He has a passion for music history, and currently serves as an interim worship pastor. Around the office, he’s known for his ability quote just about anything and keep everyone laughing with a quick one-liner.
Alan’s wife is an elementary school teacher, his son is in college studying English literature, and his daughter works for the faith-based non-profit Invisible Children.
Alan Haefs
Vice President, Global Faith Sales
@alanhaefs
Alan Haefs has been a sales professional for 20 years with 12 of those years being in the online media market and 10 years specifically serving the faith community. His personal track has consistently led him to work for companies acquired by Akamai, the world’s leading content delivery network and partner of 316 Networks.
If you were to ask Alan his key to success, he would tell you it’s relationships. His heart is to see ministries truly succeed, and he can’t help but walk them through the process toward that goal. As a reflection of his commitment, he has lead the partnership with ministries such as Joel Osteen/Lakewood Church, Joyce Meyer Ministries, Billy Graham Evangelical Association, and InTouch Ministries.
Alan is a Wyoming native and currently resides in “God’s country”—South Dakota. He is married and has three awesome children. When not spending his time on the phone or on the road with ministries, he’s coaching basketball, fly fishing, and boating with his family.
Nathan Schipper
Vice President
@nschipper
He understands 316 Network’s technology, its potential, and its power. Nathan also drives our business development efforts, working to create partnerships that extend added value to our ministry clients.
Nathan is well versed in media production, but he has an equally strong understanding of ministry based on his family heritage. His father was a long-time assistant to Billy Graham and traveled with him worldwide, and his brothers are in full-time vocational ministry roles with prominent ministries. He keeps his production skills sharp by supporting ministries worldwide with their online digital media strategies and an occasional production gig with the Atlanta Falcons.
When Nathan isn’t head-down working or on the phone, he’s buying, configuring, and experimenting with the latest Apple iDevice.
