Doug May is a seasoned CTO and collaboration architect with 13+ years of focused experience in web-enabled collaboration, content and project management, and workflow automation. He prototypes web and mobile productivity apps that turn collaboration frameworks into living documentation and learning systems, while mapping evolutionary technology paths that minimize cost and risk. His background spans enterprise IT leadership—running national networks and data centers for organizations like Robert Half and The Hunger Project—to hands-on systems and telecom engineering dating back to Bell Labs. Doug blends systems engineering with an ecology-informed design sensibility, favoring resilience, efficiency, and reuse inspired by natural patterns. He’s skilled at unblocking stalled projects, spotting synergies across ECM/CRM/BPM stacks, and squeezing performance gains (he still enjoys doubling data bandwidth). Based in California, he also volunteers teaching Rails to broaden participation in tech.
