Timothy Harfield, PhD
I am a Sr. Director of Product Marketing for Intelligent Automation at Pegasystems with specific domain expertise in the areas of digital transformation, hyperautomation, citizen development, and artificial intelligence.
Prior to pivoting into product marketing in 2016, I worked variously in university administration (student success), as a scholar in residence (learning analytics), and as a university instructor (Philosophy, Sociology). My scholarly interests are at the intersection of humanism, social theory, and computing. My PhD is in Philosophy from Emory University.
Together with my wife, Elisa Wallace, and our to dogs I run a 60 acre horse farm in Reddick, Florida. There was a time when I claimed to be proficient at a number of musical instruments (especially guitar) and I’m working on being able to legitimately claim that again soon.
