About Doug


One word that defines him: “Busy…next question.”

As the creator and project manager for SparkBase in 2004, Doug Hardman carried it from concept to reality in less than six months. Persistence, and a good understanding of the core technologies, allowed Doug and his team to build the most advanced Stored Value (gift card) network in the industry today. In early 2007, Hardman purchased the company from his previous employer. Today, Doug and more than 30 employees raise the bar in the industry.

Verbatim

What he does at SparkBase…
I make sure SparkBase is the best stored-value network on the planet.

How that helps clients…
If SparkBase is making sure that our customers and partners have the best technology in the industry, they can concentrate on selling it, and we all win.

Why he loves what he does at SparkBase…
You’ll never find a more amazing team of people to lead. Our employees are smart, passionate, and dedicated to excellence. While other networks are tangled in red-tape on new functionality to roll out, we can start development of new features within hours of the initial idea. There isn’t another network in the industry that can say that.
