Danny Bridges initially joined Emory in 2009 as an application integrator. For over 10 years, he held a key role on the PeopleSoft Administration team supporting Emory’s critical administrative systems. In April 2020, Danny stepped into an interim manager role for the team when Mike Davidson moved to the new Information Security Architecture team and has accepted the position on a permanent basis.

The PeopleSoft Administration team supports not only our PeopleSoft applications (OPUS, COMPASS, HR and ELM), but also Kronos and EBI (Oracle Business Intelligence). Danny has extensive experience with the PeopleSoft architecture and integration support but was eager to step into management. This position provides the opportunity to develop new skills while continuing to fulfill his operational responsibilities.

Born in Orlando, FL, he earned his bachelor’s degree in decision information sciences from the University of Florida.

Danny has a wife and three kids and loves taking them to the pool and hiking. He has placed first, second, or third in every LITS Chili Cook-off since 2015, except one. Danny competes in a bowling league, plays tennis, and is a big Gator football fan.

“It’s a great team and I love working with such terrific people,” says Danny of his new position, “They have helped me transition into the role. I’m grateful this role also allows me to continue doing PS admin duties, which are very fulfilling for me.”
