Shannon Hutcheson, CSM — Senior Business Analyst and Certified ScrumMaster with 18+ years of experience bridging IT and business strategy across healthcare, financial services, and renewable energy. Most agencies hand your project to a junior consultant after the sales call. At Hutch Group, you talk directly to the person who's actually done this — at scale, at companies like Medtronic, Target, and Sleep Number.
That career included leading a $600M+ contact center modernization at Medtronic — a multi-year LLM and IVR program that automated patient call outcomes and cut E2E project cycle time by 20%, saving over $300K annually. At Target, he designed data validation frameworks for 65TB legacy migrations. At Sleep Number, he drove mobile app strategy and pioneered Agile adoption across IT teams.
All of that experience — diagnosing how work actually flows, finding where it breaks, and fixing it — is now available to small and local businesses that have never had access to that level of expertise. And unlike someone who just consults, Hutch Group actively ships real products: AI-powered tools, web apps, and digital platforms — built and running in production today.
