About Eli Montague

After spending over 15 years in the NFL, primarily as a college scout with the Carolina Panthers, I made a significant career pivot — transitioning from evaluating football talent to helping businesses optimize their technology infrastructure. My experience in scouting taught me the value of strategic evaluation, relationship-building, and driving long-term ROI — all of which translate seamlessly into my current role in business development.Now with Bellwether Technology, I’m focused on helping small to mid-sized businesses across the Carolinas enhance their IT operations and Cyber Security through managed solutions. I’m particularly interested in partnering with companies in finance, construction, and manufacturing sectors — aligning technology solutions to drive operational efficiency.I’m always open to connecting with business leaders, sharing insights, and learning from others. If you’re navigating IT challenges or simply want to connect, feel free to reach out.
