At NPS, Oxendine has worked across technology, product development, operations, and business strategy, giving him a broad understanding of the systems behind certification and the allied health professionals they serve. He led the development of NPS’s technology platform and proprietary LMS while also directing the integration of certification processing workflows and systems.
As President, Oxendine will lead NPS’s strategic direction as the organization expands its certification programs and digital services. His experience will inform the company’s continued development of accessible, flexible solutions for certification candidates, educators, training organizations, and other stakeholders.
“I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to NPS from both a certification and technology perspective,” said Oxendine. “I’m honored to take on the role of President and to build on the solid foundation that is already established. As we enter this next growth phase, we will continue to expand our certification programs while using technology to make the certification process more accessible and responsive to the professionals and organizations we support.”
Prior to his work with certification agencies, Oxendine founded BOx Digital, a technology consulting firm specializing in digital platform development, learning management, eCommerce, and membership websites. He also held leadership positions including director of technology and director of information systems.
“Technology has always been an important part of NPS,” said Oxendine. “Our responsibility is to understand what our platform users need and to apply technology that powers the certification solutions they need.”
