Stephen Dawson-Haggerty is a CEO and seasoned IoT systems leader with 13 years of experience blending deep technical expertise in embedded networking, time-series platforms, and building control systems with commercial and executive acumen. He co-founded and served as CTO of Comfy, where research projects from his Berkeley Ph.D. work—like the Blip 6LoWPAN/IPv6 stack and the sMAP time-series platform—evolved into production real estate SaaS and building automation products. Now leading Normal Software from Pittsburgh, he combines product-focused engineering with go-to-market experience in proptech SaaS. His background reveals a rare continuity from low-level protocol implementations to scalable enterprise services, and a practical bent for turning academic research into revenue-generating platforms.
