About Robert Schwanz

I lead enterprise-scale IT field operations across thousands of U.S. locations and hundreds of thousands of devices, managing large distributed teams and multi-million dollar budgets with a focus on reliability, cost discipline, and execution at speed.Over 25 years in Fortune 50 IT, I\'ve built and led high-performing teams, negotiated many strategic partnerships, driven significant operational cost reductions, and overseen the full technology lifecycle across complex retail and healthcare environments, from infrastructure deployment to break-fix at scale.Beyond the day job, I\'m the founder and president of Unshakled, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing digital privacy and internet freedom through open-source infrastructure, education, and community. Privacy isn\'t just something I advocate for, I build and operate the infrastructure behind it.I\'m also an executive board member at Saukville Rifle & Pistol Club, where I\'ve built membership platforms, led capital improvement projects, and directed state championship competitive shooting events.If you\'re working at the intersection of enterprise technology, operational leadership, or digital privacy, I\'d welcome the connection.
