Natalie Delacruz

Customer Success Manager

John started Orange Blade Consultants in 2006 as a 3rd-party consultant for Autodesk working on the Buzzsaw platform with Architects, Engineers, and Production Homebuilders. Project collaboration is in his blood. His history with Bluebeam Software goes back to 2002 when Bluebeam Pushbutton PDF was released (yes, that's what it was called back then).  When he isn't doing what he considers to be "important" stuff at OBC, he's traveling or hiking somewhere in beautiful Arizona or following Pearl Jam around the country. 

20 years of experience in client service with a background ranging from corporate retail to public relations for non-profits. Sarah has worked with customers and executives in almost every realm of sales. She's got an answer for every situation imaginable. If you've called, chatted, emailed, or visited us somewhere out on the road.....you've likely met Sarah. She's "kind of a big deal" - Anchorman

Natalie joins OBC as the first EVER Customer Success Manager – and help you succeed she will. With a background in client relations and customer service ranging from Home Inspections to GoDaddy sales and support, her diverse experience with client needs is guaranteed to impress. Oh did we mention she's bilingual? Yep, she is, English and Spanish is what she speaks. Natalie is what some would call a SUPERNERD.  She can often be found in her favorite Marvel superhero tee watching Game of Thrones with her family.  Oh, she's also a Bluebeam Certified Instructor......so there's that.

Gaby Rodriguez

Customer Success Manager

Joel has worked in the tech industry for over 25 years, for companies like Microsoft and Symantec, and discovered Bluebeam Revu while working in the entertainment industry in 2005. He joined Bluebeam Inc. in 2007 as a technical support specialist, and also helped develop new Bluebeam employee training programs. He is a Bluebeam Certified Instructor and currently works for Orange Blade Consultants as their lead trainer. Feel free to ask him sometime what it’s like to use Bluebeam Revu on a low budget horror movie set in the middle of the forest. Oh......he's a pool shark too. So, do yourself a favor and don't get sucked in to the "wanna play a few games of pool" thing with Joel.....you'll be broke before the end of the night. You've been warned.

We welcomed Gaby to OBC in 2018 - and we haven’t looked back more than twice. Gaby joins us from the fast-paced world of Go Daddy corporate and brings with her a zest for customer service, a bilingual slang dictionary and a fierce competitive edge. She learned to drive at 12 years old and hasn’t slowed down since. After a long day of exceptional customer service and Bluebeam support she enjoys a fine glass of wine.
