Karl Bunch
I love solving hard problems with smart people to create great customer experiences and drive business results at scale.
45 years of experience building systems from the ground up provides a certain perspective. I've founded and run companies, held C-suite roles, and led product and engineering at scale. The thread running through all of it is my passion for translating: between engineers and executives, data scientists and marketers, technical architecture and business impact.
I'm known for raising the pace and capacity of organizations while keeping technology firmly in service of exceptional customer experiences and business outcomes. Not science experiments, real results. I get as excited about an elegant system architecture or a breakthrough data science result as I do about a P&L that's moving in the right direction or a customer experience that just clicks.
The hardest problems are rarely purely technical. The real work is building shared understanding across disciplines and turning that into systems, products, and teams that move the needle for customers and the business.

"Karl is likely the most business-passionate Technology Executive I have worked with. His focus is squarely in enabling the business, not getting lost in science experiments, while being a leading thinker around the development and application of new technologies. His energy was more than palpable - he raised the pace and capacity of any organization he was working with. It was quite common to pull Karl in to discuss non-Tech organization development issues as often as we would discuss how to drive the business through the propose use of Technologies. I look forward to our next opportunity to operate a business together again." -- Mike Jbara, President & CEO, Warner Elektra Atlantic Corp
