Tim Force is a seasoned technology, human capital management, and professional services executive whose career has been defined by growth, transformation, and an ability to help organizations anticipate what lies ahead. With more than three decades of professional experience, Tim has worked across enterprise software, SaaS, HR technology, workforce management, consulting, sales leadership, and organizational transformation. His career reflects a rare combination of operating leadership, entrepreneurial experience, enterprise sales expertise, and firsthand knowledge of building a company from the ground up and positioning it for a successful strategic exit.
Much of Tim’s professional foundation was built in the human resources technology ecosystem, where he became deeply experienced in helping organizations evaluate, select, implement, and optimize complex business applications. Throughout his career, he has advised organizations on human capital management, payroll, workforce management, HRIS, enterprise software, and cloud based platforms. As CEO at Jubilant, Tim instituted a people centric culture that attracted top talent in the industry, resulting in more than 60 percent year over year growth over his six year span as CEO. As a result of this rapid growth, Tim successfully marketed and sold his company to Ernst & Young LLP in 2024. Tim then served as Executive Director of the UKG practice to integrate Jubilant into EY, where he grew overall revenue of the practice 500 percent in just 15 months before retiring.
Tim developed extensive enterprise sales and business development experience through roles with organizations including Automatic Data Processing, Ultimate Software, and Workday. At Ultimate Software, he supported the deployment of SaaS based human capital management applications for large organizations, strengthening his understanding of complex sales cycles, executive level relationship development, and enterprise technology adoption. His subsequent tenure at Workday further expanded his strategic perspective as he worked with F500 organizations seeking to improve organizational effectiveness, workforce planning through the use of technology, HR transformation, and financial and human capital management.
As his career progressed, Tim moved from successfully representing major software platforms to building a professional services organization of his own. In 2018, he founded and became CEO of Jubilant, a consulting firm focused on helping clients implement, support, and maximize their investments in the UKG technology ecosystem. Under his leadership, Jubilant developed a service model centered on accountability, operational evaluation, client outcomes, and long term partnership. Tim brought together sales, service delivery, technology implementation, ongoing support, infrastructure, strategy, and organizational leadership into a cohesive operating model capable of scaling.
Building Jubilant became one of the defining chapters of Tim’s career. He identified a market need, created the company from the ground up, developed its people and infrastructure, accelerated growth, and ultimately positioned the business for acquisition by one of the largest professional services firms in the world. The experience gave Tim firsthand knowledge of the entire entrepreneurial lifecycle, including company formation, organizational development, scaling, transaction preparation, strategic sale, and post acquisition integration.
That journey gives Tim a particularly valuable perspective for founders, CEOs, investors, and leadership teams navigating the difficult transition from early success to institutional scale. He understands the challenges faced by entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses but need stronger systems, go to market capabilities, leadership structures, service infrastructure, and strategic discipline to reach the next stage. Having personally navigated that process, Tim brings practical pattern recognition and lessons grounded in execution rather than theory.
Tim’s expertise is especially strong in go to market strategy, revenue growth, sales leadership, professional services, technology implementation, customer support, organizational planning, and business infrastructure. He is well suited to advise growth stage HR technology companies, mid market SaaS organizations, enterprise software providers, private equity backed technology businesses, and consulting firms seeking to expand technology enabled transformation services. His experience allows him to understand challenges from the perspectives of the software provider, consulting partner, enterprise buyer, founder, and executive operator.
Tim’s leadership philosophy is grounded in impact rather than title. After completing the sale and integration of his company and retiring from full time corporate leadership, he chose to remain professionally engaged because he continues to derive energy from helping business owners and executive teams solve difficult problems. He often describes his greatest value as helping organizations “see around corners” by identifying opportunities, risks, capability gaps, and strategic decisions before they become obvious.
Central to Tim’s approach is a trust based culture that encourages leaders to openly address conflict, align around commitments to leadership initiatives, and hold one another accountable for achieving target goals. He reinforced that culture through disciplined communication rhythms, including daily stand up meetings, weekly alignment around priorities, and quarterly strategic planning sessions involving the leadership team. This approach helped create transparency, accountability, and organizational alignment while ensuring strategic priorities translated into consistent execution.

His early involvement in leadership and international programming helped establish the commercial and organizational foundation that would shape his career. Although most of his professional experience has centered on North America, he has supported organizations with broader international operations and understands the challenges associated with delivering enterprise technology and consulting services across complex organizational environments.
