Executive Leadership, Leveled UpThe C-suite cheat code for ambitious founders.

Ian is a technology leader with 25+ years of hands-on experience guiding companies through the infrastructure, security, and platform decisions that determine whether they scale gracefully or accumulate debt they can't unwind. He's built and run engineering and IT organizations from the ground up — not just advised on them.

As Director of Digital Infrastructure at a national trade association, Ian manages a full technology stack spanning CRM, web platforms, server fleets, and monitoring systems. For you Your C Team, he brings that same operational rigor to founders navigating vendor decisions, security hardening, and infrastructure strategy.

Ian has informally held product manager, dev manager, and CTO roles at early-stage startups, and is currently building his own early-stage SaaS product. His background spans systems administration, security incident response, and platform architecture.

Founders rely on him to ask the hard infrastructure questions early — before they become expensive problems later.

John is a deeply technical fractional CTO who has led engineering teams at AI and machine-learning startups from seed stage through acquisition. With a PhD in computer science and years of hands-on research experience, he bridges the gap between cutting-edge models and production systems that actually ship.

He specializes in data strategy, ML infrastructure, and building the kind of resilient platform architecture that lets small teams punch above their weight. John has helped companies design recommendation engines, real-time analytics pipelines, and AI-native products that scale without ballooning cloud costs.

Beyond architecture, John is passionate about engineering culture. He believes the best technical organizations are built on clear expectations, honest code review, and a willingness to delete what no longer serves the product. He works shoulder-to-shoulder with founders to make that culture real.

Tom has built and scaled marketing, technology, and customer organizations for B2B SaaS companies across three continents. As a fractional CMO, CTO, and CCO, he helps leadership teams align product development, brand, and customer success around a single revenue narrative.

His career spans early-stage startups and late-growth SaaS businesses, giving him an unusual vantage point on how marketing promises, product capabilities, and customer experience must reinforce one another. Tom has led global rebrands, rebuilt customer-success playbooks, and implemented the data infrastructure needed to measure what actually moves the needle.

Tom is happiest when he is untangling a go-to-market bottleneck or coaching a leadership team through its first enterprise sales cycle. He joins boards and founding teams as a steady operating partner who turns ambitious plans into repeatable results.
