SnagAJob.com's leaders have held titles like Attorney, VP of Sales and Founding Principal -- as well as stock boy, sales clerk, pipe fitter and janitor.
Shawn Boyer, President & CEO
Shawn Boyer founded SnagAJob.com in 1999, and since then, he has taken the company from being a start-up to the nation's largest part-time and hourly job-posting site. Prior to starting SnagAJob, this big thinker and passionate leader was actually a transactional attorney for Brown & Wood LLP (now Sidley Austin, LLP) and Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald, LLP. He holds a Master of Law in taxation from Georgetown University Law Center, a Juris Doctor from Washington & Lee University, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the College of William and Mary.
Aside from mowing lawns in middle school, Shawn's first hourly job was in a retail store in his sophomore year in high school. "From day one, that job taught me that the customer is absolutely the organization's lifeblood, that they drive the business, and that you need to bend over backwards to wow them." That same philosophy is embraced throughout SnagAJob.com today.
Dave Bosher, Finance
Dave Bosher believes that the role of his department goes well beyond taking care of the company finances. That is why SnagAJob's finance team also arms clients with the financial data they need for effective decision-making. They also serve as business advisors to all of SnagAJob's associates, and get directly involved in customer service.
Dave Bosher came to SnagAJob.com in August 2006. Before joining the company, he was the CFO of Payerpath, Inc., the leading processor of Internet-based healthcare claims in the United States. Prior to Payerpath, Dave served as Senior VP and CFO of Cadmus Communications Corporation, a leading content management and graphic communications company with annual revenues of $450 million. At Cadmus, he played a key role in multiple strategic acquisitions, leading the financing of the acquisition of two of the company's largest competitors. Earlier in his career, Dave was an equity research analyst with Davenport & Company, and he was also Director of Accounting for A. H. Robins Company, Inc., an international Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company.
Dave holds a BS in Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Richmond, and he's also a CPA. He began his working life as a pipe fitter's helper. His father earned hourly wages for his entire career as an electrician.
Cathy McCarthy, Marketing
The more hourly job seekers who know about SnagAJob.com, the more people who can land great jobs and live more fulfilling lives.

Before joining the company, she served in various leadership roles at Circuit City Stores and circuitcity.com, including VP of Customer Strategy and VP of Direct Marketing. Prior to Circuit City, Cathy worked in the Change Management practice of Accenture in both Europe and the United States.
Cathy holds an MBA from the Darden School and a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Virginia. Her first hourly job was taking care of plants at a garden center and occasionally getting to drive the dump truck to deliver mulch.
Greg Moyer, People
Ask Greg Moyer about his position in human resources, and you'll get a good idea of the culture at SnagAJob. "I never liked the term human resources," says Greg. "It seems too impersonal and just doesn't capture what we're all about. Instead, we call ourselves Snagger Services -- and our mission is to lead the way in creating a great place to work that attracts top talent and brings out the best in every Snagger."
Greg Moyer came to SnagAJob.com in November 2006 from PeoplePoint, a technology-focused human capital consulting firm that he launched in 2001. Prior to PeoplePoint, Greg was the Senior VP of Human Resources at the 5,000-employee Cadmus Communications -- and before that, he was the Corporate VP of HR for an information technology firm with more than 20,000 employees. While most of his career has been in human resources, Greg also served as a Public School Administrator and teacher early in his career. He holds an MS with honors from Temple University, and a BS with honors from Elizabethtown College.
Greg started working at age 14, as a stock boy in a men's clothing store in Pottstown, PA.
Lou Paglia, Product
Lou Paglia views the success of an organization in terms of customer value and user satisfaction. It is accomplished by "fostering and bridging innovation, in all products and services, in order to provide a best-in-class experience" that meets the needs for employers and job seekers. In his role, Lou oversees the design, creation and ongoing development across SnagAJob.com’s product and service offerings.
Prior to SnagAJob.com, Lou served as the Director and General Manager of the Factiva division of Dow Jones and Company, where he led a global product management organization providing B2B subscription news aggregation and search services.

Wei Wang, Technology
Wei has a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. He has been a chief designer and architect of enterprise software solutions for some of the world's leading technology firms. And SnagAJob.com is extremely fortunate to have Wei Wang at the helm of its technology, since that is, in many ways, what drives the company.
Even though Wei is in charge of technology, his philosophy focuses on the human side of business. "I believe that people are our best asset, and my duty is to create a scalable organization to maximize everyone's potential and to allow each person to live a more fulfilling life."
Prior to joining SnagAJob, Wei was a Director of Engineering for Yahoo! Inc. There, he was in charge of all aspects of managing the Yahoo!
