About Lawson Moore

I help companies grow by turning complex strategy into action and building the digital relationships that make it stick. Whether architecting a portal for users or driving engagement across regulated sectors, I focus on results that are both measurable and meaningful.At Liferay, I partner with global teams to leverage Digital Experience Platforms (DXP) that unify mission-critical workflows, agentic automation, streamline operations, and unlock growth in the Public and Private sectors. I specialize in navigating the high-stakes environments of Energy, Defense, Government, and Education where security and scalability are non-negotiable: Consolidation of 50+ fragmented HR systems into a unified platform for the U.S. Navy, supporting up to potential users: Unified the digital experience for 1.7M customers at Spire Inc, integrating two separate ERP systems (SAP & Oracle) into one mobile-friendly portal: 30% reduction in Service Desk incident volume for Airbus by deploying a centralized self-service IT portal for employees: Consolidated 68 legacy sites into a single, unified intranet for the Department of Education, connecting staff members.At my core, I’m a husband, a father, and a follower of Christ. Those identities shape how I lead and serve. Whether I’m solving an operational headache for a VC-backed firm or mentoring a young team member, I see people first.
