Summary
Morgan Lopes is a seasoned technology leader and entrepreneur with 11 years building mission-driven products and early-stage platforms from Hawaii. As CTO and first engineer at multiple ventures—including SupportNow and Nectar—she designs and ships underwriting, origination, and user-focused systems that connect people, capital, and community support. Her background spans founding a boutique web/mobile shop (Polar Notion), leading nonprofit tech at New Story, and authoring Code School to help non-traditional entrants break into tech. Morgan blends hands-on engineering with product and UX ownership, favoring clear communication and humane design in complex integrations. She’s as comfortable sketching system architecture as she is coaching teams and translating stakeholder needs into pragmatic roadmaps. Outside work she demonstrates endurance and discipline—inferable from ultramarathon finishes—bringing the same grit to scaling reliable platforms.
