Vetted Executive & Leadership Professionals

“CIO-level technology leader (most recently at Sovos) who owned the full tech roadmap across product, infrastructure, and corporate IT, scaling engineering across 14 countries with an architectural review board and standardized security/observability. Hands-on in high-severity incidents (ransomware) while managing executive/client communications, and drove a reported 40% product-velocity lift by adopting AI code assistants and agentic AI (Devin) alongside Kubernetes + Bottlerocket for secure scalability.”

“COO who specializes in professionalizing early-stage/growth operations for sale readiness—at Cooperative Laundry led a major restructuring (40% headcount reduction), redesigned operating hours (24 to 18) to reduce labor cost and improve maintenance uptime, and implemented Lean/Six Sigma systems with KPI-driven operating cadences across multiple sites. Emphasizes cultural transformation ('no surprise' accountability) and mentoring non-ops executives to independently run data-driven operations; cites driving the business to 7x EBITDA and positioning for an acquisition in 2026.”

“Senior chief-of-staff–type operator with 13 years in government, leading agency-wide implementation of presidential executive orders and large-scale internal policy rewrites via cross-functional working groups (HR/CIO/CFO/legal/facilities). Deep experience boosting executive productivity through structured prep systems (Outlook/OneNote, templates, SME tasking) and trusted handling of sensitive matters with a Top Secret clearance, including executive safety-related confidentiality.”

“Director of Engineering at Proofpoint for 8 years, leading architecture and integration of Java microservices within a detection platform. Demonstrates pragmatic delivery leadership—incurring short-term cost to meet launch deadlines, then systematically paying down technical debt and optimizing AWS spend—plus a disciplined, long-horizon approach to backward-compatible API/schema evolution across many dependent services.”

“Engineering leader (12+ years Director, 17 years lead) focused on developer productivity and platform/framework work across Oracle, PlayStation, Workday, and CafePress. Notable for building distributed teams from scratch and delivering high-impact platform architecture—e.g., re-architected PlayStation’s upload pipeline to support 500GB–5TB submissions using browser-to-AWS chunked uploads with SNS/SQS and deduplication/resume support.”

“Founder/idea lead behind InvantX, an AI-powered product helping people make better decisions with their own data. Developed the business model canvas and MVP plan, set up an early customer feedback loop, and iterates roadmap/architecture based on beta-user learning. Has participated in accelerators including FinAccelerate, Pegasus, and an NVIDIA program (AWS credits), and applies a metrics-driven, structured approach to traction building.”
