Chris Pfeifer — Founder, Telepath Technology Solutions
About

Technology leadership rooted in real-world experience.

I started my career in a support queue, troubleshooting software for 2,000 field associates. Over 25 years I've worked through every layer of the stack — QA, enterprise deployments, product management, innovation strategy, and executive leadership at Fortune 500 companies and high-growth investment firms. I founded Telepath Technology Solutions because I believe companies at every stage deserve access to that depth of experience.

That journey means I don't just advise from the top — I understand what it takes at every level. Whether it's building AI-powered tools, designing a technology incubator that Fortune 500 clients want to replicate, or cutting 15% from an IT budget while growing the applications portfolio, I bring both the strategic vision and the hands-on instinct to make things work.
