Head of People

Copia is the world's leading provider of operational technology (OT) backup & industrial code management software. We develop novel tools and technologies to help companies manage, review, and deploy the code that runs industrial systems, factories, warehouses, and critical infrastructure. Copia exists because this industrial code is simultaneously the most critical and least protected asset in industrial environments globally. There is no backup, no version history, and little recovery infrastructure. 

Large strategic enterprise accounts (such as Amazon) are choosing Copia to manage their industrial automation environments. These are not small pilots. These are enterprise-wide transformations across hundreds of facilities, involving OT security teams, controls engineers, CISOs, and operations leadership. The space is hard and the stakes are real, which is why we need the best people onboard.

We're a 60+ person team growing >2x ARR year-over-year, backed by top investors like Construct, Lux, Ironspring, Squadra, and Renegade, and serving customers across manufacturing, logistics, data centers, and energy facilities.

• 1. Treating industrial automation as entirely separate from modern software engineering best practices.
• 2. Dismissing the cultural resistance of traditional controls engineers to adopt new tools.
• 3. Failing to demonstrate a hands-on technical understanding of PLCs and OT environments.

I bridge the gap between traditional industrial automation and modern software development by bringing Git workflows directly to the factory floor.
