Bryan Bacon has been named vice president of activation by Dallas-based Three Link Solutions, a leader in unlocking the full value and productivity from its customers’ Workday investment.

Bacon, who lives in Utah, previously was director of strategy and enablement for Workday, an HR solutions company.

“I’ve known the team at Three Link for many years and have been consistently impressed with their ability to provide highly professional, vetted consultants that align to the customer’s need and help them fully realize the power of Workday,” Bacon said in a statement. “At Workday, I saw firsthand the positive impact Three Link has on customers and the partner ecosystem as we worked together to accelerate innovation and deploy new capabilities. I’m thrilled to be a part of this company.”

In his new role, Bacon will lead Three Link’s strategic initiatives tailored to the small and medium-sized business market, linking these initiatives with upstream opportunities to maximize customer impact and foster growth.

The company said that Bacon will be responsible for helping Three Link expand its offerings and deliver innovative new ways to continuously improve services as it enables businesses to unlock the full value of Workday.

“We first met Bryan over a decade ago and have long admired him as a leader in bringing Workday, customers, and partners like Three Link together to solve challenges,” Greg Knowlton, founding partner of Three Link, said in a statement. “As we continue to rapidly scale Three Link, we look for talented leaders who understand our customers, the market and how to address the opportunities ahead of us. Bryan’s track record of innovation, commitment to quality, and focus on the customer make him the perfect candidate to help drive the next phase of our business.”

Bacon joins Three Link after an 11-year career at Workday.

Over the last five years, Bacon and his team have been driving innovative implementation strategies to reduce deployment costs, and removing friction from Workday deployments, while identifying new revenue streams. Three Link said.

Bacon started in customer success at Workday before building and expanding the Foundation Tenant Service team from 10 to 75 members across the U.S. and Dublin, Ireland.
