Vetted Chief Technology Officers in the Los Angeles Metro

“Engineering leader with hands-on coding time who has driven major commerce and data-platform transformations: defined goop’s omnichannel strategy, unified payments to Square, and rebuilt real-time NetSuite inventory flows plus forecasting tools. Currently reorganized engineering into Product/Data/Support teams to hit aggressive seasonal roadmaps, and led a data-lake/medallion ELT refactor feeding embedded analytics (Tinybird) with improved reliability and cost efficiency; also accelerates onboarding via AI coding tools in a serverless, event-driven architecture.”

“Engineering/technology leader with experience tying roadmaps to OKRs/KPIs, scaling cross-functional engineering teams, and driving go-to-market execution for Managed IT Services revenue growth. In an early-stage company setting, personally stood up core systems (CRM, lead gen, website) and multi-cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS) while building investor materials (pitch deck, VDR, financials), resulting in an investor LOI within 8 months. Also led an on-prem deployment architecture redesign for a network monitoring (NPM) product to improve compatibility, scalability, and security.”

“Hands-on architect/executive who built a virtual sales platform from scratch with real-time video delivery and autoscaling global video nodes, while also operating at the stakeholder/roadmap level. Previously scaled IT as Arbonne grew from ~$11M to $1B in annual sales and led large digital transformation efforts including a 70-person team for princesshouse.com; also advises startups (e.g., SocialBud) on product expansion and roadmaps.”

“Engineering/technology leader (CTO-style) with experience scaling orgs and running distributed teams across four continents for over a decade. Led a high-stakes modernization of a securities trading platform at Wedbush—migrating from monolith to microservices on AWS with zero-downtime constraints—driving 45% execution performance improvement and enabling 25% market share growth. Emphasizes business-aligned roadmaps, build-vs-buy rigor, and scalable engineering practices/culture.”

“Engineering/product leader who builds business-aligned technology roadmaps and scales pod-based orgs with strong delivery discipline (OKRs, CI/CD, QA automation). Led a SaaS supply-chain application adopted by Fortune 100 customers, citing ~$4M MRR and ~87% gross profit, and has hands-on experience standardizing LLM + cloud/MLOps architectures with security/compliance guardrails. Also created the PISEK methodology and used it to run distributed innovation sprints (e.g., an AI ETA predictor moved from pilot to production).”

“Entrepreneur/fintech product builder who raised a $100K pre-seed from ex-Google/Microsoft execs and built a real-time, direct-to-vendor bill pay micropayments platform. Previously helped scale Norton LifeLock to 1M users (2003) and also created Karma LA, a fraud-resistant, verified donation system (including VA veteran verification) aimed at improving trust and conversion in giving.”

“Engineering/technology leader with experience at Evocative and through a merger with Hivelocity, aligning tech roadmaps to managed services growth. Led multi-region self-hosted cloud and automation initiatives that cut delivery time from days to hours/minutes and informed cost-saving infrastructure decisions (reported $500K OPEX savings). Known for scaling teams with pod ownership, agile/intake governance, and disciplined rollout practices that protect uptime and security.”

“Founder of TimeTick (timetick.io), an AI-powered diagnostics platform for IoT combining device simulation, automated testing, and real-time monitoring—initially focused on EV charger diagnostics. Former VP of Engineering with a track record of building IoT systems from scratch and applying AI to detect protocol-failure patterns that drive downtime; currently supporting existing customers and converting pilots (with leads like Siemens and ABB) into paid subscriptions.”
