With TrustPlace, organizations can harness enterprise knowledge to operate better, boosting productivity and governance across their locations - all within a flexible, secure, enterprise-grade environment.
What We Believe
- Empowering organizations with the best digital tools where they work can unleash a step change in productivity, speed, and quality.
- Codifying ways of working and organizational knowledge promotes better operational outcomes
- Digitally “closing the loop” is the best method to foster a culture of transparency and accountability
We Serve Built World Operations
We serve the needs of businesses with significant operations in the physical world. We use the term "frontline" to distinguish the nature of the operations - the physical world activities ARE the product or service. We develop software to meet the unique needs of physical frontline operations and their corresponding support and management functions. Our product design leads with the requirements of all people involved with operations - C-Level, Middle Management, and Staff. TrustPlace is built to help these people work better together.
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 frontline 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 pitbull rescue named Enzo Ferrari.
