I created CoPilot LLC as a boutique consulting firm providing a variety of important business and technical needs. The name “CoPilot” stems from the need for business owners and leaders to have competent assistance in all aspects of their business, and at times, for someone who can temporarily take full control—just as a copilot does for a pilot. Clients have included businesses ranging from small startups to large power grid utilities. Typical services have included:• Temporary leadership for companies with vacant leadership roles or short-term project needs.• Consulting on product development and implementation.• General project management services.• Specific workloads such as software testing and software bug identification and resolution.• Designing software and workplace solutions including: workflows, audit controls, reporting engines, interface design, etc.
