Thomas Burns

I have lived in the Denver, CO metro area since 1998. I married my wife, Katherine, in 2001. We have two children, Ben and Sutton. I was born in Philadelphia, PA but moved often in my childhood. I lived in Birmingham, AL, Brisbane, Australia, Clearwater, FL, South Boston, VA, Pittsburgh, PA and Bernau, Germany before moving to Denver.

​

The transitory nature of my early life helped develop two core attributes of my character, adventurer and leader. A propensity towards adventure has been a driving factor in both business and pursuits otherwise. The attraction to the ever-changing technology industry and the entrepreneurial mindset guided many of my career decisions. I am also an experienced backcountry skier, class 5 whitewater kayaker, cross country motorcyclist, mountain biker, and off-road triathlete. Although, many of these activities have been augmented to be family focused today.

​

My leadership character manifested from the adventurer efforts. To take a risk in business, people need to be a part of it. My ability to plan and execute attracted others to join and actively participate in these endeavors. My ability to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures helped to build trust and passion for the task at hand. The resulting commitment to execution built long-standing business relationships with both employees and customers.

​

Since 2007, my career has been emersed in the IT infrastructure, Managed Services and Professional Services industries. My efforts have been primarily focused on revenue generation strategies including new logo sales, account growth, sales engineering, product strategy and sales operations.  I also served as CTO with a focus on building products and services that provide our customers with a deep connection to our organization.  I have built an MSP/ProServe company from the ground up and also guided early stage and growth stage companies toward their revenue goals.

​

In several of my roles I have also driven the product strategy for the organization. My goal has always been to build service strategies that customers need and don't want to do themselves. A Customer's proprietary value has nothing to do with IT repeatable tasks. Managed Services is a fertile environment for this type of value proposition.
