Leadership Team

Shane Doyon

Shane Doyon

Operations and HRD Strategist

Shane has over 20 years of experience in the fire service and is a battalion chief for a fire department in Northern Colorado. He obtained a Master of Science in Leadership and Human Resource Development from Louisiana State University, a B.S. in Fire and Emergency Services Administration from Colorado State University, and an A.A.S. in Fire Science Technology from AIMS CC. Shane is a certified Class A Contractor through the International Code Council. Throughout his career, he has professional experiences, including; wildland fire, Dive Team Coordinator, Health and Safety Coordinator, and participated on a Colorado Incident Command Team as Planning Section Chief at national large-scale disasters and incidents.

Shane’s experience as a battalion chief has given the leadership skills required to lead in stressful and high-risk environments. And his experience running companies has allowed him to flex his growth and operational mindset. Shane was the owner/operator/founder of American Fire Apparel (custom apparel), Rawk Supplements (health supplements) and All-Pro Builders (commercial and residential remodels).

Shane believes a company’s culture is built by and for the most important piece of a business, it’s people. Through mentoring, programs and consistent conversations Shane has built a process to get the most out of his people. But more importantly he’s helped his staff get the most out of themselves.

Shane’s other strengths include leadership, mentoring, coaching, problem-solving, and organizational improvement.

He is married to his amazing wife, Katie, and very proud of his three sons, Blake, Cole, and Gavin. He enjoys spending time with them and staying active. 

Brett Ramberg

Brett Ramberg

Revenue and Technology Strategist

Brett Ramberg is an passionate growth strategist, sales professional, leader and has experience in finance, legal, M&A (buy and sell side), HR and many other areas. He started his entrepreneurship through acquisition journey 6 years ago.

Brett started his career in telecom sales and transitioned to regional sales of highly regulated licensed collegiate apparel working with colleges across the United States. Upon moving to Colorado in 2013 Brett championed opening up a branch of the apparel company, its first ever, and in 18 months grew sales from $0 to $1M annually.

In 2016 Brett started to search for his first acquisition. In 2017 he bought a distressed commercial IT Service Provider with 11 staff and over 100 commercial accounts in Northern Colorado and took over the role of Owner/CEO. He strategically led that organization through several transitions including a rebrand, relocation, new product development, expanding to a nationwide client base and several other transitions that were all focussed on increasing the valuation of the organization for his goal of getting acquired 5 years after acquisition.

In 2022, 5 years and 1.5 months after acquisition, Brett’s organization was successfully acquired by a larger IT Service Provider.

Brett defines himself as a humble and highly moral person who believes people are the core of any organization. His roots growing up in the midwest have given him a “blue-collar” work ethic and a drive to accomplish what he sets out to accomplish no matter the obstacles along the way.

Brett is married and has two kids with his wife, BriAnn. They live in Loveland, Colorado and spend time camping, golfing, fishing and sports.
