President & CEO at Cimian Digital Works

Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarey Rolfe is a pragmatic CEO and founder with two decades of leadership across defence software, sustainable construction, and renewable energy, combining Naval officer discipline with entrepreneurial drive. He built and led the Naval Software Requirements Research office to close the gap between operators and developers, and later translated that systems-thinking into founding EcoLiving and Underway EcoHomes to deliver rapid-assembly, energy-efficient housing. Carey has guided cross-functional teams and international projects across North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa, creating dual-use technologies that serve both civilian markets and defence customers. A hands-on technologist with a background in computer science and photography, he blends software quality assurance, program management, and design sensibilities to solve complex problems end-to-end. Not obvious from his title: he personally drove dealership turnaround, grew an environmental services company from $6M to $21M revenue and led international housing deployments for social programs in Brazil. He remains focused on emerging tech—AI, big data, quantum and advanced manufacturing—to accelerate defence innovation and sustainable growth.
