About > Ian Thurston

Ian Thurston, Owner

Ian’s career reflects a consistent pattern: being trusted with critical systems and making them better. Beginning in government service with the U.S. Coast Guard, he developed nationwide production systems and automation that saved hundreds of labor hours and supported emergency operations. Transitioning into private-sector IT leadership, he built and maintained enterprise networks, messaging systems, and security infrastructures long before “cloud” and “zero trust” became buzzwords.

Ian is a senior IT leader with more than 25 years of experience in systems engineering, infrastructure architecture, and application development. He has led IT operations for private-sector industrial environments and government organizations, delivering secure, highly available systems while eliminating unnecessary costs and manual processes. Known for calm leadership under pressure and deep technical expertise, Ian combines strategic oversight with hands-on execution.

In recent years, Ian has led IT modernization efforts in industrial environments where downtime, security breaches, or system failures carry real operational consequences. His work emphasizes reliability, cost control, and intelligent automation – often replacing expensive recurring services with custom-engineered solutions. Today, he continues to operate as both strategist and engineer, ensuring technology directly supports business and mission success.
