About Nathan Tableman

I build and turn around technology organizations. I have served as CTO, Deputy CTO, VP of Engineering, and Senior Director — scaling teams from individual contributor to 250, delivering enterprise transformations at Fortune 500 financial institutions, and shipping platforms that serve millions of users. What I bring to the conversation: → Executive advisory to C-suite at Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, CIBC, Bessemer Trust, MFS, GEICO, Edward Jones, and Schwab — spanning CRM transformation, regulatory compliance, platform encryption, and go-to-market strategy. → Turnaround experience: took a PE-owned data company from 75% uptime to 99.99%; saved $12M/year at Condé Nast by replatforming to open source and cutting build time from 90 minutes to 90 seconds.→ US Patent #10••••33 for cryptographic CTI integration. Salesforce Certified Technical Architect. Coached 10+ CTA candidates (90% pass rate) and judged 100+ certification panels.→ Global impact: architected disease prevention and vaccine supply systems for The Global Fund and GAVI across 60+ nations.What makes me different: I still write code. Right now I\'m building a multi-protocol IoT weather station network (LoRaWAN, Particle cellular, MQTT, Docker, TimescaleDB, Grafana) and an edge AI trail camera on Qualcomm silicon. I reverse-engineer hardware protocols for fun — Mitsubishi heat pump serial (CN105) and Balboa spa controllers, integrated into Home Assistant and HomeKit. I believe technology leaders should stay in the field.
