Tony Sumrall is a maker with both leadership and technical skills. He's been in the computing arena since his graduation from Miami University with a B. S. in Systems Analysis, working for and with companies ranging in size from 5 to hundreds of thousands of employees. He has been on the leadership team of 3 successful startups and, more importantly, 2 that were not quite so successful.

Mr. Sumrall began his career in customer support at a small database company, quickly moving to worldwide support for several large computer manufacturers. Leveraging his field and customer support experience, Mr. Sumrall helped create one of the first technical customer advocacy programs empowered to work directly with the creators on early release hardware and software systems. This program led to one of the most successful product introductions in the large scale computer space.

In the early days of the Internet, when it was populated by a handful of companies, Mr. Sumrall recognized its strategic importance and, in his capacity as head of Research and Development, ushered his company in to the e-commerce space, growing their sales and dramatically reducing their cost of sales and overhead.

Mr. Sumrall created an Internet Operations group for a small Internet startup during the late 90s and led that organization through a successful exit a few years later. He has created several such organizations including, most recently, a quality, test and performance analysis group whose processes and expertise contributed greatly to that company's acquisition by a major computer manufacturer.

Mr. Sumrall holds 4 patents. He lives and thrives in Silicon Valley which feeds his love for all things tech. He has deep practical experience in computer security, development and process methodologies, testing, communications and networking and the technologies underlying viable blockchain implementations.

Since teaching a semester of computers for Systems Analysis majors after graduation, Mr. Sumrall is quite pleased to return to Miami University as an adjunct instructor, advisor and consultant.
