About Sam Harris

As a serial entrepreneur, I have built and sold two tech startups and grown two more to hundreds of employees and over $100M in revenue.With unique experience as a CFO, COO, and CEO, I\'ve found my best fit and passion as a CTO. I relish focusing on tech while being a part of a strong team of fellow executives who excel in their roles and trust each other. As a founder who has built companies and had to make payroll, I genuinely get what matters to a business and what can be skipped. I\'ve felt the crushing weight of balancing conflicting client, employee, and investor expectations firsthand, and recognize that tech is an investment that must generate revenue to justify itself.I still ship code every week. Intimately knowing the stack is the only way to make informed leadership decisions on tradeoffs. Together with my team, we build products that fuel growth and resilience. We deliver features at lightning speed without compromising quality, IT security, or employee enjoyment in the process.I hold an MS in Financial Engineering from Columbia University in New York, a BS in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University, and served as a Captain in the US Air Force.
