As interim executive director of BOSCO Inc., Tom is focused on leading a board turnaround and organizational restructuring effort designed to strengthen governance, clarify strategic roles, and improve operational discipline.

I serve because I believe technology should advance human dignity, expand opportunity, and strengthen communities.
