LEADERSHIP
We’re a ragtag band of scruffy nerfherders who aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty. People with experience. People who care.
Mitch Rohde, PhD
Chief Executive Officer
Co-founder and leader for two decades, Mitch is really an engineer through and through – wielding an algorithm, soldering iron, or PowerPoint with equal deftness. Totally overeducated and usually overfed, on weekends you can find him working on arcade games.
Rob Lupa
Chief Technology Officer
As the tech “soul” of the operation, Rob combines equal levels of engineering brilliance with polished sass in the service of motivating our technology teams as they build powerful solutions. And he can cook a mean pasta, too.
Disa Webb, CPA
Chief Financial Officer
Wielding her razor-like wit and long-time CPA experience, Disa keeps the finances in order and that whole money-thing under control. Get her a Brennivín and she will share wild Excel stories.
Chris Showers
Chief Information Officer
The man our teams love and hackers secretly despise, Chris is an IT army that makes the network run 24/7/365. He also has superhero skills involving long-distance running and stand up-comedy (no joke!).
