David is co-founder and CEO of Ozmo and is focused on growth strategy and planning. He works actively to shape the overall direction of Ozmo while instilling a culture of autonomy, transparency and inclusion. David is as much a serial geek, as he is a serial entrepreneur. Having been the IT guy in his family since his youth, it is fitting that he is building a company focused on improving outcomes in tech support.

Whether it’s at home or at work, David enjoys the journey whenever possible. You can find him spending his free time on Zwift, and is subservient to his Apple Watch. (Gotta close your rings!) After every honey do item was completed in 2020, David took up his wife’s hobby of gardening. As a lifelong gamer, he has embarked on a journey with his kids to create a video game on Roblox.

Aaron is a co-founder of Ozmo, currently responsible for customer success and expansion of the business in North America, Europe and Latin America.

Aaron is a proud Hokie graduate of the Pamplin College of Business at Virginia Tech. He’s a Virginia native now residing in the wacky world of Austin, TX. He’s learning to love the Texas sun, referring to groups as “y’all” and keeping Austin weird.

When Aaron’s not working or trying to figure out a problem, he spends his time exercising (himself and his dogs Theo and Tucker), reading and watching sports. He’s a passionate Washington D.C. sports fan and he still loves the Hokies, even though the football team isn’t so great.

Brian lives in Blacksburg with his wife Ali, daughter Logan and son Austin. An avid cyclist, Brian enjoys riding both the roads and the trails around the mountains of Virginia.

Stacey is the Director of Finance at Ozmo and is responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the company. She is passionate about telling stories through outputs from the accounting and finance team that lead to collaboration, growth, increased efficiencies, and successful outcomes. Stacey believes that everyone is a numbers person, you just need to frame them in a relatable, actionable, and compelling story so they can be fun and easily understood. Her career has shown her that people are genuinely good, barriers are meant to be knocked down and life truly is short and you have to be intentional in everything you do.

Stacey studied Accounting and Finance at Regis University in Denver, Colorado where she is from, and she brings years of experience in growing SaaS organizations and closing capital events. Outside of work, you will often find her and her family traveling to sun and sand destinations, descending the snowy Colorado slopes, enjoying hikes through mountainous trails, or laughing (like the deep belly, can’t breathe kind) at family get-togethers.

Troy Cross is the Head of New Business in North America for Ozmo. Establishing genuine, long-term relationships with new people and new companies is both his job and his mission. Troy believes that the Golden Rule is just as important for business as it is for any other part of our lives.

Trained as an Aerospace Engineer (yes, a rocket scientist), he never forgets what it takes to build an extraordinary product or run a great network. He still loves helping new startup founders bring their ideas to life.

Troy and his beautiful wife, Dacia, live in Texas with their two great kids. Although currently landlocked, he loves to sail the Caribbean whenever he can. And when Troy is not on the road or talking with customers, an evening on the golf course is the occasional treat.
