I anticipate that his impact on the company will be realized quickly.”

After beginning his career at Honeywell in the Corporate R&D center he spent 15 years at Logic PD as CTO and EVP helping hundreds of companies with business strategy and new product introductions while growing the company into one of the most well-known and largest design and engineering service organizations in the country. Nelson was named a Titan of Technology by the MSP Business Journal in 2015.

A doctoral graduate of Cornell University, Nelson is a sought-after speaker and contributor on topics related to innovation, design thinking and digital transformation.
