Summary
Bruno Lago is a seasoned technology founder and coach with 11 years of senior leadership experience and a 25+ year engineering background that spans systems administration, cloud platform creation, and enterprise programme delivery. He founded and scaled New Zealand’s leading public cloud provider, earned government certifications and contracts, and later served as CTO driving two-week delivery cadences and IRAP-level security for regulated customers. Today he combines hands‑on expertise in AI, cloud and cybersecurity with founder coaching and governance advisory work, helping deep‑tech leaders with pitching, fundraising and sustainable product roadmaps. Bruno’s career blends low‑level systems craftsmanship (early Linux, multi‑TB databases and embedded DJ hardware) with boardroom strategy, so he equally understands operational detail and executive tradeoffs. Based in Wellington, he brings a curious tinkerer’s mindset to solving high‑risk, high‑impact problems and intentionally integrates mindfulness practices into leadership development.
