We Serve Front Line Operations
Front line operations are people. People who grow our food, care for our sick, teach our children, and keep us safe. People who manufacture our products, harvest our raw materials out of the ground, stock our shelves, fix our machines, transport our products, and provide stores to shop. All the people who prepare our meals, give us a comfortable place to stay, and provide places to worship and be entertained. TrustPlace is built to help these people work better.
About Brian Carpizo, Founder & CEO
Brian Carpizo is the Founder & CEO of TrustPlace Technologies, Inc. For more than 30 years, he has worked at the intersection of operations and technology as a consultant, entrepreneur, and software developer – sometimes all at once.
During the 2020 Pandemic, Brian launched TrustPlace to fill a gap he repeatedly observed in the marketplace – despite all the advances in tools and technology and long, expensive digital transformation efforts; these tools were often not applicable or accessible for much of front line work in operations.
Before founding TrustPlace, Brian worked as a Senior Vice President at Uptake, an industrial AI software company. He was an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Co, where he was a global leader in their IoT & Operations Advanced Analytics practice. He also was the founder and CEO of Junction Solutions, a leading operations software & services firm that provided Retail and Manufacturing industry solutions, where he was honored as a finalist for both the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Illinois Technology Association (ITA) City Lights awards. He began his career at Accenture.
Brian’s leadership on innovation has been recognized & featured in many conferences & publications, including Forbes, the Chicago Tribune, WBBM radio, Chain Store Age, Microsoft’s AI Future Now conference, Robotics Business Review, Retail Info Systems, Engineering & Technology magazine, and several McKinsey & Co articles.
Brian has a BA in Economics from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and an MBA in Finance & Entrepreneurship from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He resides in the great City of Chicago and is the proud father of two adult children – and a little pit bull rescue named Pai.
