How Cy thinks is as important as what he has built.
Founder, CEO, inventor, operating partner, board director, and strategic advisor—with a career defined by integrating the pieces required to create enterprise value.
Cy works with founders, CEOs, boards, private equity firms, family offices, and investors at pivotal moments—helping leadership teams scale businesses, raise capital, commercialize innovation, and navigate strategic change.
While his career has spanned enterprise software, telecommunications, supply chain, advanced analytics, manufacturing, and real estate, one theme has remained constant: integrating strategy, capital, partnerships, technology, and execution to create new sources of enterprise value.
Throughout his career, Cy has founded multiple technology companies, raised more than $30 million in angel and venture capital, negotiated multiple eight-figure strategic partnerships and enterprise agreements, built executive leadership teams, and earned 24 U.S. and international technology patents.
Across three founder-led companies—Advance Technology Consultants, AirSage, and ketteQ—Cy challenged conventional thinking, pioneered innovative business models, and transformed emerging technologies into successful enterprises. Each company served a different market, yet all shared a common objective: commercializing innovation, creating sustainable competitive advantage, and building enduring businesses.
Today, Cy serves as an Operating Partner, Board Director, and Strategic Advisor, partnering with ownership teams and executive leadership to accelerate growth, strengthen strategic positioning, raise institutional capital, commercialize innovation, and lead transformational initiatives.
Leadership Philosophy
Cy believes that enduring enterprise value is created when strategy, capital, partnerships, technology, and execution operate as an integrated system. He is known for asking insightful questions, aligning diverse stakeholders around a shared vision, and translating complex strategic challenges into practical execution.
Organizations engage Cy not simply because of what he has accomplished, but because of how he thinks. He brings clarity to complexity, challenges assumptions with insight and respect, and enables leadership teams to see possibilities where others see obstacles.
