We built this because AI adoption is already moving outside the old boundaries.
A small team. Senior. Discreet by design. We spent careers inside the kinds of organizations we serve, watched AI tools and workflows grow without ownership, support, or change control, and decided to build the operating layer we always wished existed. The CEO is named; advisor and delivery rosters stay private unless there is a reason to disclose them.
The next wave of software will not arrive through normal IT intake.
It is already arriving through tools, vendors, agents, scripts, and teams trying to move faster. We believe every organization deserves a way to adopt AI safely, not only enterprises with platform teams and mature DevOps programs.
OpenData exists for those teams: set the course in Forge, build safely in Factory, and keep the business in control with Pulse.
Our customers don't buy us for our brand. They buy us for what we ship.
The leaders we work with run regulated industries, sensitive operations, and confidential transformations. They prefer a partner who treats their roster as a competitive advantage, not a marketing asset. So we don't list customer logos until they ask us to. We don't publish team headshots. We don't post screenshots from inside deployments. The work speaks; we let it.
If you want to know exactly who you'll be working with, you'll get that on the first call, with a non-disclosure agreement in place if it matters to you.
What the team brings, by role.
Todd Rossin
Chief Executive Officer. Leads company strategy, customer relationships, and the operating discipline behind Forge, Factory, and Pulse.
Senior operators
Two former heads of operations from Fortune-500 services firms. Combined ~25 years running PMOs, capacity planning, and delivery handoffs.
Applied AI engineers
Engineers from frontier-model labs and large AI infrastructure teams. The same people who've shipped retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and safety pipelines at scale.
Senior platform builders
Backend and frontend leads with experience operating multi-tenant SaaS at the 100-million-user scale.
Product designers
Practitioners from teams that have shipped category-defining B2B products.
Security & compliance leads
Former heads of security at fintech and identity companies. They own threat modeling, audit posture, the SOC 2 roadmap.
Deployment leads
Former management consultants and big-four ex-partners. They sit on the team for Guided and Embedded deployments.
Senior advisors who shape the work.
A short group of senior advisors help with strategy, product, and customer access. They are listed by role unless they ask to be named publicly.
AI, identity & platform advisor
A senior operator with deep experience across identity platforms, API architecture, enterprise SaaS, and applied AI. Helps us think about platform architecture, trust boundaries, and how AI and operations actually fit together inside real organizations.
Senior services-industry advisor
A former managing director at a top-tier global consulting firm with deep experience in services operations, capacity economics, and the financial mechanics of professional-services delivery. Listed by role, not name, at their request.
AI safety & evaluation advisor
A researcher with frontier-model evaluation experience. Helps us design verification stages, refusal posture, and the accountability record that makes Forge defensible to a CFO and to a regulator.
Enterprise security advisor
A current head of security at a public fintech. Reviews threat model, access architecture, and the path to SOC 2 Type II.
We're hiring quietly.
If you've spent a career inside operations, running a PMO, building a forecasting model, designing a delivery process, leading an AI infrastructure team, and you're done watching companies struggle to do this with spreadsheets and goodwill, we'd like to talk. We post specific roles when we have them; otherwise, intros come through the deployment-call channel.
No careers page. No requisitions. Just conversations.
Onboarding 20 design partners through Q2.
Your teams are trying tools, your vendors are adding AI, and new workflows are already forming. Tell us where that motion is happening and we'll map a 90-day path, or tell you honestly that we're not the right fit.
