Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoss Rosen is a seasoned technologist and entrepreneur with 11+ years of consulting and hands-on software experience, currently running Ross Rosen Consulting and volunteering with Project Redwood in Seattle. He combines deep engineering roots—early C and Unix systems work at Novell—with product, go-to-market, and executive leadership from founding InsideCrowd to VP roles in startups and accelerators. Ross ships pragmatic backend improvements (notably contributions to the Home Automation-focused AppDaemon project) while advising clients on product strategy, sales, and fundraising. He co-founded a CrossFit gym, signaling a penchant for building communities and iterating on user experience beyond software. An MBA from Stanford and a BS in Computer Science and Economics from Duke underpin his ability to bridge technical tradeoffs with business outcomes. He’s the kind of consultant who moves between code, strategy, and operational execution, often improving core systems and documentation behind the scenes.
