FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT

Bruce Sinclair is a business consultant whose 30-year career has spanned high technology, business and investment. Since 2015 he has focused all his experience on advising companies on how to use digital to create meaningful business value – first as an independent consultant and then as an operating partner for a mid-market private equity firm.

Bruce began as a mathematician and then a programmer, but quickly found his way to business through marketing. He worked his way through product marketing and brand management to be VP of Marketing for a large Microsoft subsidiary. After that he was the CEO of a number of software companies before moving into consulting. As a consultant he primarily helped middle market enterprises plan their digital transformation strategies around product improvement/invention and new business model development.

Bruce established himself as a digital transformation thought leader by drawing upon his consulting engagements to produce original content to help enterprises and other consultants. This includes his book, IoT Inc, published by McGraw-Hill in 2017 which continues to be the best-selling and top-rated book on digital transformation. He has also written for publications like Forbes and Computer World, keynoted at the world’s largest IoT conferences, produced an award-winning podcast that’s still in syndication on iTunes and Spotify and he has certified hundreds of ICIP online students and thousands more with his LinkedIn Learning courses. Bruce’s consulting students include professionals from: Accenture, Bain, BCG, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, IBM, McKinsey, PwC and Tata. Although his website, www.iot-inc.com has changed purpose, most of his public work can still be found there. His new book, The Private Equity Digital Operating Partner, has just been published.
