Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTim Empringham is a seasoned technology and business executive with 25+ years of experience leading large-scale digital transformations, product innovation, and operational modernization across banking, consulting, and logistics. Currently Senior Director, IT at Livingston International and founder of Dine Local, he blends enterprise-scale delivery—having led a $60B lending conversion and pioneered mainframe DevOps—with hands-on product-building for local restaurants and personal projects like Home Assistant and TastyIgniter. He has repeatedly translated innovation into revenue and efficiency gains (millions in new revenue, multi-million cost savings, and measurable productivity improvements), and created a $250k first-year commercialization revenue stream for clients. A former banker and CIO-level leader, Tim is comfortable moving between strategic board roles and tactical engineering decisions, and his acceptance into Brock’s MBA program despite no undergraduate degree hints at strong professional credentials and intellectual rigor. He pairs entrepreneurial grit with a curiosity for practical open-source tinkering, often building solutions “for fun” that inform his approach to scalable, customer-focused technology.
